NAMM 2024: Epiphone has launched a signature Thunderbird bass guitar for Pantera and Down bassist Rex Brown, and it shares much of the same classy aesthetic of his Gibson signature model – albeit with a more accessible price tag.
Not that Brown’s new Epiphone four-string is cheap. Like the Gibson-owned brand’s recent signature guitars for Kirk Hammett and Joe Bonamassa, the Thunderbird is positioned at the very top-tier of Epiphone’s Chinese-made range, offering serious competition for the entry-level USA models of its parent company.
