Lower Bout - 37

This Thunderbird model has some serious bottom end

This seems to be a one-off or short run model from the Washburn WP series of Les Paul Custom models (likely a WP100 or above) made by the Tokai factory in Hamamatsu (note the Tokai style truss cover rather than the typical 3-screw one)

Features a slim maple neck

These were a very similar circuit to the Maxon PT-9

While it may look odd

Bacchus Universe instruments are crafted in Bacchus sister factory in China

the action is reasonable and it plays nicely as it sits with no need for a neck reset any time soon

Looks to be all original including a Licensed Floyd Rose system (missing the nut locks)

this is a stunningly nice shredder that competes in both look and feel with just about any boutique build

This is #56 as shown on the hand-written serial number on the headstock

Neck - Mahogany (slight V profile)
