This Epiphone Thunderbird '64 ER is a beast – seriously, that body construction gives it a really unique, growly voice perfect for rock, punk, and heavier styles.

A great option for players wanting that classic Thunderbird tone at a more accessible price point.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 760s are voiced to emulate vintage Thunderbird pickups, offering a thicker, warmer tone with more low-mids than the more modern ceramic pickups.
The rounded neck profile is generally comfortable, but the width at the nut (38mm) might feel a little snug for players with very large hands.
The premium gig bag is decent for transport, but a hard case is recommended for serious gigging or travel to protect the instrument's substantial body.
