[/quote] Well your attempt at being sarcastic fell right on it's arse there matey. They're just shy of £350 everywhere without the hard case, which itself can cost anywhere between £70 to £120.

Shockwave Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Yup, this is the Classic pro series with a set neck, not the standard Epiphone thunderbird fare, £350 new is about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pst62 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 It's a through neck mate, not set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) I do not think it is a Thunderbird pro if you look it only has 3 control knobs and a Thunderbird pro has 4 if I am not mistaken.

pst62 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) As the title says it's the [b]Classic Pro IV[/b] produced in 2012 Not the active Pro which has been around since 2008 or so. If I hadn't have bought mine last month this one would be well on it's way to Somerset by now! Edited October 24, 2013 by pst62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswareham Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Err, the last *Pro* I saw was around the £220 mark. I guess that was without the case, but it was certainly not the bolt on neck model. I was intrigued by the shape, and it played very well.

pst62 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 They've knocked it down to £250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu_g Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 This is the version with proper gibson pickups in it isnt it?,i have a pro and stuck some seymour duncan ssd pickups in it and got fretsonthenet.com to make some metal pickup surrounds for it looks pretty cool now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edstraker123 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Is it an older version of one of these ?

If I had a spare £250 I'd have it meself. Just amazed at how many people are so confused when the description is in the title of the thread!
