This is a sweet Orville by Gibson Thunderbird with a couple twists! It was made in Japan (we believe somewhere in the 1980s) under license from Gibson for the Japanese market. This Thunderbird was clearly given some TLC by a previous owner, who upgraded the pickups to a pair or Lollar T-Birds and the bridge to a Babicz Full Contact.
It's in Very Good vintage condition with a little cosmetic wear, including some scratches (especially on the back), a few small dings here and there, and other signs of normal handling and use.
Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
