Week 11 - Thunderbird IV Zebra Wood Bass
The Thunderbird IV debuted in 1963 with the original Firebird guitar series. The most highly respected of all Gibson basses, the Thunderbird was reissued in 1987 with original reverse body styling and new, special-design pickups. Exotic zebrawood wings add a wild streak to the classic model.
