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...

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:

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!!!
