This video was almost made for me. I love T-birds not only because they look amazing, but also because they have a very distinctive sound which fits the kind of music I do. I was however eyeing the D-bird because I tend to play in lower tunings (standard D and drop C) and the lower strings sometimes go flappy. I was wondering if de D could do de T sound, and honestly so far it doesn't get that close.

I watched this video a week before my Dingwall D-Bird STD arrived. Now I've had it for a year. I also own a Gibson Thunderbird. The Dingwall range of tones is terrific. That said, the Gibson has an unmistakable vintage vibe. I have played them both in concerts and really can't say which I prefer, except the Dingwall ergonomics is incredible. Dingwall sustain is incredible and the 4th position (all three PU's) is incredible. Also the build on the Dingwal is incredible even though made in China. Interesting note... Gibson made them change the name and Dingwall now calls this their D-Roc STD and reshaped the body. So my Dingwall D-Bird STD is a collector's item.

I'm glad you pointed that out John, I never would have noticed. Looks like the redesign has a deeper cutout for better upper fret access. The new headstock doesn't look as cool without the contrast stripe though. Glad you like yours, the new 5 string D roc is on my short list.
