Location: Minden, Nebraska | James, the T-bolts are fun guitars to play if you play higher up the neck as they have two extra frets clear of body. They are super shallow bowl with an OP-24, so primarily designed for stage. Black ones are not especially rare, but there weren't a large number of them made. Value is relative.... I bid on this one, but have been since outbid; so, my piqued interest has peaked. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | I really like mine...(see my gallery)...plugged in the sound is hard to beat w/ the OP-24 electronics...the white ones always looked like Ace Frehley of KISS to me...these are way undervalued and the standard colors (White, Black, Red)have been going for under $500 typically on the Bay.
Snakeskins and Dragonskins are much more rare and go for more money (unless they are trashed).
Blessings... |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | 14 frets clear of the body...24 in all...this one looks in fairly good shape: TLC and a neck bolt if the owner is being sincere. Great guitar for the money if it stays low. Now a case on the other hand is another story...search for my earlier posts on that subject.
Blessings... |

Location: Brisbane Australia | Thanks for the info guys. It just caught my eye. I might be better keeping my eye out for a good one, the shipping cost is the same. James |

Location: Brisbane Australia | Congratulations Slydog. I was bidder5 I decided not to bid again as I really have enough on my plate and as I said previously the shipping cost to Oz is expensive and the same for a good one.
Good luck with it. James |

I'm glad you like the Thunderbolt....keep me posted on the repair to it.
If you guys are interested...I've got something a little more exotic up now...a gray burst Breadwinner Limited.
