Gibson Firebird

Is it just me or do you guys ever get the jones for something you've never even played?

That's it with me for the Firebird.

I've never played or even seen a Firebird & yet I want one...BADLY!!!

Ever since I fell in love with the music of Johnny Winter, I've wanted a Firebird.


No real point to this thread....just drooling out loud!!!! :32: :32: :32: :32: :32:
 
Re: Gibson Firebird

I fight Firdbird GAS all the damn time...my old Drummer bought one and never plays it...I've tried to but it several times but no luck!

I've also had GAS for a Gibson Barney Kessle for about 10 years now, and I have never played one of them...but I HAVE TO HAVE ONE

Im also dealing with a little bit of Gibson RD GAS, as you could see by my Avatar...
 
Re: Gibson Firebird

Somehow, I knew you'd dig Firebirds!!!! :beerchug:

Yep...I love them, I hate that most if them have a little bitty neck but I could deal with that...they feel so damn good on a strap and the tone is just to die for. I recorded a few tracks with my last band with my drummers Firebird and the other guitar players AC-30...THAT was some kick ass tone!

I think if I was to move to the Atlanta area, you would get me in a lot of trouble!!!! :bigok:

Come on bro...there are over a dozen bad ass music stores here...they run from all new run of the mill stuff, to all new super high end amps and CS guitars, to 1 or 2 all vintage shops in Midtown that are AMAZING! :13:
 
Re: Gibson Firebird

I've been dying to get a Firebird VII finished in cherry. I used to hate 'birds until I played a few. They are way cool...especially if they're hung low :smoker:

DUNNO.....but definitely not out of the question!!!


Hey.........what's the difference between the V & the VII ???

And don't say II !!! :13:
 
Re: Gibson Firebird

I want a non-reverse firebird with 3 p90s :D

Or a firebird with minihumbuckers, I suppose...

I can't remember all the different numbers...in Firdbirds there was a I, III, V, and VII...
I know that a I only has one pickup, III's, and V's both have 2 pickups but different trim and a VII has 3 pickups and I know there are other differences I just can't remember what they are. As for II and IV, those are Thunderbird Basses...
 
Re: Gibson Firebird

the V is the 2 minibucker one we all know so well .. the VII has three mini's and a trem.

I'd love a nice "59 neckshape on one ... the non reverse CS w/ 3 mini's would be just fine by me.
 
Re: Gibson Firebird

I guess it's a V that I want.....2 mini-hums & a STP/TOM............ :32: :32: :32:


WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF?????
 
Re: Gibson Firebird

Yeah, I like the one with a bridge pickup and tom but w/e that's custom lol.

Anyway, the firebird is gibson's fastest guitar by far imo. I picked one up at guitar center and it just flowed from my hands haha, then neck is tiny compared to the huge SG neck and feels sooo goood. I love the firebird :D
 
Re: Gibson Firebird

I'll have to try one again. I played one a while back at a GC (probably why I was disappointed) and the body felt awkward. I was drawn to it obviously because of its looks... I think it's one of the coolest looking guitars ever made! I dig Gibson single coils and their P90s and minihums kick (even though a lot of people will dismiss them).
 
Re: Gibson Firebird

YES!!!! THE ONE PUCKBOY LINKED TO!!! I WANT IT !!!! NOW!!!!!



er... but in red, not white. Boy, will that thing sound good!!!
