If you need a bolt on body you need to look out for one of them Epiphone Non Reverse Tbirds.

If you need a body for a set neck, maybe you can wait till BaCH has their NR Tbird ready.
I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but at the former Dudepit we've been gathering 20 (and more) enthousiast to have a NR Tbird built by the Czech company BaCH.

If you want more info shoot me a PM

Would these be set up for a regular Gibson glue in neck?

Yep that's the BaCH we're talking about. (www.bachmusik.com)

Not to be confused with the BaCH in Germany! (www.bachguitars.de)
The German company sells the same Czech made instruments. But they are an amateuristic bunch altogether. Don't answer emails, ship way too late, forget to ship at all, etc, etc


The Czech BaCH is a professional and friendly company.
The whole process of getting the Non Reverse Thunderbird project on the right track has been a very pleasant experience so far.

Ray, I've been thinking about flipping my NR Fbird to fund other projects and I'd let it go at cost to someone I know. Nothing wrong with it, but I just don't play it enough and need cash for other builds.

Ping me if your interested.

Default I fill your pain...

Howdy:
First, I just want to say that I’m new to the forum and how much I’m looking forward to take part in all the discussion to come.
I wish you all the best on finding a non-reverse Thunderbird body. I’m searching for an Epiphone non-reverse T/B body myself; actually I’m willing to trade a Epiphone reverse T/B body for a non-reverse…but I have given up any hope on finding one in trade. So, I think your last option is to build your own from scratch. All the best.

Sincerely: Danny
