It's probably one of the sillier purchases I've made, but it should end up costing me very little (he said, hopefully), so I figured why not... I had a bit of extra money from various gifts, and although I already had a Thunderbird I always wanted a
white Thunderbird. They seem to be one of the rarer "standard" colors (
Epiphone doesn't even list them in white right now, only tobacco sunburst and ebony), so when one came up for sale I grabbed it.
The seller listed it as being in "excellent" condition, but honestly I would have called it "mint". If it had been listed as new I would not have questioned it. The only sign of wear is very subtle marks on the neck by the headstock, where it was hanging on a hanger.

There's just something classic about a white Thunderbird, IMO.
(Fun fact: the Thunderbird in these two pictures is actually the same one! - Jackie Fox of the Runaways sold it to Mark Mendoza of Twisted Sister, who apparently still owns it.)
