    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.
