Gibson Firebird

| Review By: Antonio D'Alfonso | 16 hours, 20 minutes ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

Eventually this guitar had to make into my room. What a wonderful piece of musical invention. I know it is only blues and rock and roll, but I understand why Brian Jones, Johnny Winter, and Ron Wood chose this guitar. Its first striking element is the beauty of shape. Sure, it takes time to appreciate uniqueness of shape in guitars, but once your eyes finally understand its identity, appreciation turns to awe.

The second characterist is its weight. It is very light. I am not an expert in woods, but the lightness of materials makes this the guitar to play for lengths of time. The creaminess of its warm pick-ups and the rapidity of the neck makes your fingers want to run... and I am far from being a great guitar player. Thank you Gibson.

unique axe

Unique appearance and features.     Sounds great, plays smoothly.     Great axe.

Bought the new Gibson Firebird.     I had to wait several months.     Well worth the wait.     I have PRS, Gibson ES and Lesters, etc.     The Firebird is unique.     It is very light, like an SG, but doesn't have as much neck dive as the SG.     I won't have a sore shoulder after a long gig with this, the way I do after throwing a Lester around for three hours. The pups on the Firebird are unique, as well.     The gearless 40-1 ratio banjo style tuners will take some getting used to, but I look forward to playing this for quite some time. I just wish it would have been available with the Maestro whammy.

So, unique shape, light weight, unique pickups, neck through body, very different tuners, beautiful finish.     Nothing else has this combination of features.....nothing.     My guitar tech is a real Firebird freak. Now, I know why.     Sign me up.

Everything on the guitar was solid and well finished.     Neck was smooth, frets were well dressed.

Everything is relative.     There are cheaper guitars, particularly those made outside the US.     But, for a quality US made set neck quitar with great electronics and hardware, the Firebird is a real value.

worth every penny

I got this guitar used a couple months ago, and it sounds great no matter what you throw at it. The mini humbucker pickups are amazing with a nice crunchy bridge pickup, a warm neck pickup and a nice blend when you use both. Its a little awkward to play for the first couple times because the body is so long and it feels like youre playing really far up on the guitar but you get used to it. The tuners are amazing and probaby one of my favourite parts of the guitar since its so unique, and is super accurate for tuning. This guitar sings even when unplugged and if it where to be stolen i would buy another in a heartbeat. you wont be dissappointed if you get one.

Its a great guitar, It has the sound thats in between a Humbucker and a P90. The Case it came in looks all good, but man is it BIG. Its by far One of the lightest Guitars i own. The Reason the Quality got a 4 is because The first few frets are horrible and it needs a good set up. the Finish was great, but overall this guitar should only cost 1500, but it was still worth EVERY penny at the price.
