Lew-Bass Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Do they make a LH version? Are they any good? Seem like a normal epi thunderbird on steroids, which can't be a bad thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Search is handy: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=36637"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=36637[/url] for the first thread about them on here, and then [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=49491"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=49491[/url] for the one posted last week. Doesn't look like they go lefty though, and they're much closer to the proper Gibsons than the bog standard Epiphones: Different neck profile and width, neck through. New features are the laminated neck and the active electronics, they should play better than the bolt ons, whether it sounds as good as a passive t-bird no-one knows until they hit the shops in early July. I'm looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding it hard, what with being a lefty and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Learn to play righty like I and others have? Probably looking at a second hand MIA Jazz or equivilant really if you can get about £600 together, should be able to pick up a lefty with a bit of hunting.
