Since its debut in 1965, the Non-Reverse Thunderbird has been the go-to bass for forward-thinking players who forge their own path and reject the ordinary. With its distinctive design and powerful, resonant tone, the Non-Reverse Thunderbird stands out on any stage or in the studio. Now, the Gibson USA Non-Reverse Thunderbird reissue brings this rare gem within reach.

Built with a Non-Reverse mahogany body and a mahogany neck topped with a rosewood fretboard and 20 medium jumbo frets, this bass delivers warmth and sustain. Each of its two Thunderbird pickups has an independent volume control, allowing you to dial in the perfect blend, complemented by a single master tone control for simplicity and versatility. The three-ply white pickguard showcases the classic Thunderbird graphic, adding a touch of iconic flair.

Equipped with a Graph Tech® nut, a three-point adjustable bridge for precise action and intonation, and Hipshot® Ultralite® tuners for stability and reduced headstock weight, the Non-Reverse Thunderbird offers exceptional balance and reliable tuning. It also includes a hardshell case for secure transport and protection.
