Location: florida		hi all and thanks for this site =)

so i have a few ovations but i saw a thunderbolt design i hadnt seen before. I own a thunderbolt TS01 snake and grabbed a CSD double neck a few years back but i walked into a pawn shop yesterday and scooped up a Thunderbolt TD01 with a lightning strike paint design. Its a black background with white/blue strikes that are all accented by metallic glitter type air brushing. Thing is ive never seen this design. i thought the TD01 model number was for the dragon design so my fear is some idiot stripped a dragon and airbrushed it but it looks too good to be a home job. can any one help out with some input? Thanks all.

steve

Location: Tennessee		That's a thunderbolt through and through. I've never seen one like that before, but it may have been a promo run? The graphic sorta looks like the label. If it's a custom, it's nicely done. Nice score.

Location: sitting at my computer		hmm, it's interesting that the bowl label has the same / similar lightening design - that would make it seem like a factory done airbrush or decal job... but not conclusive. A quick Google search didn't provide any others with the same design, but did bring up a couple other unusual Thunderbolt body artworks...

snakeskin T-bolt

confetti ??? T-bolt (3rd one in the list)

As Bobbo said, might be a promo model. Maybe ya got yerself a gen-u-ine "limited edition" Thunderbolt.

or maybe somebody got inspired by this Dean Thunderbolt guitar...

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		I believe that is a factory job.
I Have seen more than one photo of that guitar (or it's sibling)...
With the lightning on the label.
Therefore I believe it to be an official Ovation critter. :p
