Thunderbird bridge and tailpiece

Gibson bass guitars | Part descriptions | Bridges | Thunderbird bridge and tailpiece

Gibson Thunderbird bridge (1960s). Part number BR-750N. This was Gibsons first bass bridge to allow separate intonation of each string, and was used on the reverse and non-reverse body Gibson Thunderbird, and the Epiphone Embassy from 1963-69. Unlike all other Gibson bass bridges, it required a separate tailpiece, and was fitted with a damper spring, which acted as a mute by pushing felt blocks (not pictured) against the strings. The bridge posts were short-bushing type, nickel (early), or chrome (later) plated.

A replacement bridge by Scott Dasson (Dasson or Badbird bridge is currently available that resolves intonation problems with this bridge, with no modifications necessary to the instrument itself.
