Real thing or one of the studio special whatever they call em?

I actually already have a 70's Tribute Firebird which I love but this time around I'm getting the full on real deal big bird.

big bird :) like the sound of that! good name

the difference is likely to blow your mind... congrats!

them tributes are, unfortunately, rather epiphone-ish (epi-phoney? lol) in sound and feel. Though, OTOH, it'd be strange to expect much more out of something that costs like an epiphone (or even less than some!), when its price has far more expensive american labour figured in. Gotta have cheaper parts, wood, and finish to add up. There's no something for nothing, not in new guitars at least.

Re: A big fat new guitar day is happening soon. The bird has almost landed

please post pics when you get it - I wanna see this guitar!

I cracked up looking at the tracking. The case and guitar weigh in at 29 lbs. That's freaking huge.
 
Re: A big fat new guitar day is happening soon. The bird has almost landed

ran home at lunch and got quick look. The case is freaking huge. Looks perfect head to toe even tho it was from a store. They said they had it behind the glass and I believe it. Didn't get to plug it in yet but man it felt nice and looked great. I have to figure out those funky new tuners they got this evening. Here is one quicky pic.

also the pickups were almost frozen it's so cold here. They were sweating when I pulled it out of the case.

That guitar is ****ing sweet! I've never actually played a firebird; what kind of profile does the neck have?

When I die, you can bury me in this case. It's that big.
 
Re: A big fat new guitar day is happening soon. The bird has almost landed

Are these neck heavy and/or awkward to play when standing up?
 
Re: A big fat new guitar day is happening soon. The bird has almost landed

the old version w/ the banjo tuners is supposed to be but mine seems to sit in place with a good strap.
