Shylock Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) [size=3][color=#333333][font=Verdana]I bought this hardshell case for my Epiphone Thunderbird new in December 2011 but have since sold, well traded, the Thunderbird when I upgraded to a Gibson Thunderbird as I never played the Epiphone. The person who undertook the trade did not want the hardcase. [/font][/color][/size] [size=3][color=#333333][font=Verdana]It is a rugged wood case covered in Tolex, but does have a few inevitable scuff marks, and features padded plush lining and accessory compartment. Specially designed and built for Epiphone or Gibson Thunderbirds, although I believe they will not fit the Thunderbird Pro series. [/font][/color][/size] [size=3][color=#333333][font=Verdana]It cost me around £80, if I recall correctly, and therefore seeking[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Verdana] £40 and collect only in view of size I am afraid although we could meet up depending on location. I reside about 15/20 minutes away for Junction 23 of the MI.[/font][/color Edited April 4, 2016 by Shylock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Sorry, but a Gibson Thunderbird won't fit in this case. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shylock Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hmm..strange that you should say that as I just checked again and my Gibson Thunderbird fits and lids close etc with no issue. I wonder if they have changed the specifications? I also see from the Andertons website that it says it fits the Pro basses and I always understood it did not. I do know that Jazz basses don't fit but I guess if anyone wants this they could bring their bring their T'ird with them to check although I am prepared buy it back if anybody finds it is unsuitable.

NancyJohnson Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Perhaps Epiphone have changed the case specs on the newer ones...I've got a pair of Gibsons (previously this number went as high as six) and a Hamer FBIV - the necessity for my purchase of the Epiphone case was for the Hamer, which fits it snugly. Neither of the Gibsons fit the Epiphone case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
