dyerseve Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Ok so it's more gormless than fretless but for the money it will probably sound bloody good if you can live with the looks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Considering Thunder IIs are typically around the £300 mark, that's a damn good price for a project/ resto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what's under that intriguing scratch plate that bothers me. Routing may well have been done with a sharp spoon and a shovel and then there's the two cracks that look to be have been caused by the bridge screws being hammered in. I know it's cheap but even if it's a complete lemon it would never make an ornament either. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 To be honest, I'm not convinced it's a Thunder II at all. I didn't think that any of the Thunder 2 or 3 were bolt on neck? I think it's either a Thunder 1a fretless or some sort of a Thunder Jet project or maybe a hybrid of the 2 and an old raft found on the canal.

Bassassin Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Just had a proper look at the pics (I was on my phone earlier) and that's a Thunder 1A, probably a Jet with the finish taken off. Ignore my earlier remark - it's a wreck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
