I'm Stateside this week. Played a 2015 Thunderbird earlier...played nicely enough but distinctly underwhelmed with the new electronics.

Couldn't hear anything different from the two new switches so couldn't vouch for what they actually do. New Babicz bridge is very nice, so may order one up when they're available.

Strange, assuming it's the same pickups and switching as on the EB (2013-) it makes an appreciable difference on the EB. What were you playing it through?

It was going into a Hartke LH1000 and an 8x10. I understand that manufacturers have to freshen things up a bit but this seems a pointless upgrade.

Honestly, my 'birds sound pretty much the same. And hey, it's nearly a thousand dollars more than last year's model.
