Up for sale here at The Guitar Dude we offer this sweet surprise that'll get your motor running and have you ready for adventure, or whatever comes your way. Terada got this one right and got us all excited over here, this Orville By Gibson Thunderbird is, as it's namesake implies, a lightweight yet gargantuan bird of thunder indeed. This piece was crafted when Orville was in full swing, and home runs and grand slams were the order of the day. Select woods and expert craftsmanship conjoined in blissful harmony to create a true masterpiece of artful low end. Plugged up to the SVT this T-bird dishes out pure, unadulterated thunder with clarion detail and nuanced articulation, a sound that don't just hear, you feel. She's in pretty nice condition for her 30-plus years, there are a few very small finish chips on the back of the body. There's a few dings on the front of the body and some faint handling marks on the back of the headstock. All just honest play wear, nothing fake or aged on purpose. This is real MOJO that looks cool and will allow you to rock out worry free. These basses just don't pop up every day, and is really a cool find. This bass really measures up to it's Gibson cousin in every way, and the exceptionality of this piece may even eclipse that of its United States made twin. Here's a super opportunity to get going on a bass that will keep your attention and be a real treat for your audience as well. She's a real keeper that takes it much deeper, you will be as entertained as we were if you take the plunge....here today, only at The Guitar Dude.
This guitar is professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.
**** We stand behind every guitar we sell and have consistently delivered quality that beats most people expectations, earning us a reputation for quality that is unrivaled. Simply put “good enough” is not good enough for The Guitar Dude’s standards. We try and make every guitar be at its absolute BEST to deliver on our promise. We take great pride in what we do and we are always trying our best.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s
We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
