Iconic Thunderbird Design: The Thunderbird-E1 bass stays true to the bold and distinct body shape that was originally designed by Ray Dietrich in the early 1960s. This unique design, which takes inspiration from automotive styling, has become synonymous with attitude and flair. The Vintage Sunburst finish highlights the guitar’s classic and timeless look.

Mahogany Body and Hard Maple Neck: The bass features a solid mahogany body that offers a warm, resonant tone with excellent sustain. Paired with a hard maple neck, the combination delivers rich tonal qualities and reliable performance across different genres of music.

Slim Taper Neck Profile: The slim taper neck provides enhanced playability, offering bassists a smooth and comfortable experience. This feature is perfect for fast playing and makes it easy to navigate the fretboard. The 34-inch scale length and 12-inch radius fingerboard add to its versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles.

TB Plus Humbuckers: Equipped with two TB Plus humbucking pickups, the Thunderbird-E1 delivers a punchy, vintage tone with great clarity and presence. These pickups are designed to provide a smooth, hum-free sound that ensures high output while maintaining a balanced and articulate tone.

Black Hardware and Classic Pickguard: The black hardware, along with the vintage-style white pickguard, adds to the bass’s classic, elegant appearance. The Thunderbird logo on the pickguard further reinforces the iconic design.

Customizable Tone Controls: The controls include two individual volume knobs for each pickup and a master tone control, allowing players to fine-tune their sound to suit their needs. Whether you want a punchy tone for live performances or a mellow sound for studio recordings, the controls offer full customization.

Durability and Reliability: The Epiphone Thunderbird-E1 is designed for durability with high-quality die-cast tuners and a flush stoptail bridge for improved tuning stability and sustain. Whether you’re on stage or in the studio, the bass remains reliable in all conditions.
