I cracked up looking at the tracking. The case and guitar weigh in at 29 lbs. That's freaking huge.

My Raptor and case weighs in at 2st 4lbs - 32lbs and it's a monster.

That was one of the better axes I've owned over the years. Those mini humbuckers are quite nice.

Awesome Birds Fellas!!! Jeff, didnt know bout that one!! I hear you guys on the cases! I have an EPI Tbird Pro bass and that case is definately NOT for a girly man!

Hey Bryan! I haven't been around much lately and so many guitars come and go these days I can't do the "NGD" much anymore! A white Firebird was one of those "Bucket-List" guitars I always wanted. When it was blown-out at a deep discount I couldn't refuse! My wife said "buy it, and happy birthday/Merry Christmas!"

Hope you're doing well and Merry Christmas!

Nice! I almost grabbed the white one when they were $1150 on MF over Black Friday but chickened out

Loving my burst so far and got it at an awesome price as they were not reducing the bursts initially.

Much lighter in weight and tone than my firebird 70s tribute. Both great, just different

Can you show us a picture of the Tribute & this new Firebird next to each other?

 

[blakejcan]

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

ya for sure. I have to sell the Tribute and take some pics. I like them both a lot. The Tribute is so much heavier in weight & tone.

Sorry for the delay but here are some pics of them side by side. The 70s tribute is for sale now if anyone is interested. It's a great guitar.

What are you asking for the 70's Tribute?

$700. That's what I see them for on eBay and they stopped making them so they're hard to find

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

They're both killer looking guitars, be hard to sell either one for me, lol.

I have the gold 50th anniversary I lowered the pickups to get some of the harshness out theyre ceramic mags and they are a little hot but i love it.I also brought the tailpiece up 2 FULL turns and that reduced the tension on the strings and gave it a nice feel.
