Seriously? I love Bigsbys. Nothing else gives you that sweet wobble, but it takes some skill to work that stick while playing. Not that I actually have the skills, but I'm working on it. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e6ZVmP6XfOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AVisme Posted January 5, 2013 Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 The inlays are pretty cool. "Red Fade" isn't bad. The other two colors are too bright for me [correction: Three. I see there's an "Orange Burst", as well]. I appreciate the experimentation, but why do they have to go whacky when they aren't doing the standard cherry, black, white, and burst? There's a happy medium that can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dparr Posted January 5, 2013 Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 The third pickup kills it for me. Makes it look very gaudy IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fusion1 Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Who is the person responsible for these new models? Firebird X, SG X (not the cool one from the 90s) the Robots, the Zakk Wylde SG/V abomination the backwards V etc. Seems someone should be fired for these flops of late.

Was the Firebird X a flop though? It certainly attracted a lot of attention to the technology and everyone was talking about it. By all reports, they sold what they needed to sell too. I reckon it was more subtle than people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
