The Brooks Nachtkrapp was built especially for Chris Laut.
Chris is the lead singer and bass player of the most excellent band Ohrenfeindt from St. Pauli, Hamburg. Chris always wields a Thunderbird on stage (Bride or Babe). He is also an airborne paratrooper for the German army. So we came up with a unique combination of Burgundy (from the baret), Camo and the emblem of the Paratroopers. |

About the name
The Nachtkrapp (translates as Night Raven) is a mythological bird from Westen European culture (in particular Germany and Austria). Since Brooks is a European brand it seemed appropriate to find a European counterpart for the American Thunderbird.
