What a sweet guitar. Everything about that guitar is cool. It sounds incredible, plays better than any Gibson out there. Too much crap on it though. It had a section of wood along the top cut out for an 8 band EQ of some sort, and there was some additional circuitry that I didn't care for. They need to make a cheaper, scaled down version without all the extra crap. I'll be happy with two knobs and a switch. The neck is buttery smooth. It looks amazing in person and is smaller than it seems to be in the pictures.

Re: Played a Gibson Firebird today
I dunno about all those gizmos, but the Firebirds I have played all have 1 switch, and the traditional 4 knob Gibson layout....

Re: Played a Gibson Firebird today
I assume you're talking about the Firebird X that has all of the bells and whistles on it. I haven't played one, but I stood right next to one looking at it a couple of months ago. I agree about the size, they're freakin tiny!!Comment

Re: Played a Gibson Firebird today
You're right. I meant the Firebird X, but I didn't realize they still make the regular Firebird. The only Gibsons that interest me are Les Pauls so I usually don't pay attention to anything else they make.Originally posted by phil_104 View PostComment

That Firebird X does a bajillion and one things. I think it's neat but can't say I'm after one or anything.Comment

Re: Played a Gibson Firebird today
I really would like to have one without all the gadgets built in. Just the pickups, a toggle switch, volume and tone controls would be perfect.Originally posted by TheLivingDead View PostComment

Re: Played a Gibson Firebird today
I think they should have at least made some that were of the reverse firebird body styling. They probably would sell a few more.Comment
