Epiphone Thunderbird 70s Replica

Wasn't this a BC'ers project? If so, anyone know who it was?

I think the one that was on BC was a Fenderbird project

It looks nice. Is it a neck through Epiphone I wonder?

Could be worth a go. Probably better than the modern 'real' thing?

The Fenderbird/Laklandbird that looked a bit like that is mine (there's actually been two ), but that's a very nice one - the tuners, bridge and pickups will have cost as much as he's asking for it. I'm sorely tempted...

It seems to be bolt on. (Bolt On IV's have the input jack on the face of the body, by the Tone & Volume pots)

This seems too familiar..

I think we're all guilty to pimping our gear to a degree, but people don't give a toot that the hardware came from the US. At the end of the day it's still just a bolt on Epiphone.
