Got The Firebird


The Bear

I had an old Firebird and I loved it... but it had the strap button up on the shoulder (instead of behind the neck like yours) and it was terribly neck heavy. Glad to see Gibson finally got it right.

 

 

Still neck heavy

 

Thanks

Only problem with owning a Firebird: every time you take it out of the house, people will expect you to lay down some Johnny Winter licks. If you don't know any, learn some before taking the 'bird out on a date!

Or they might expect you to lay down some Stephen Stills licks...

I remember wanting a Firebird in the worst way when I was a teenager. Some years later I did try out a couple of Gibson reissues, but I found the necks a little too chunky.

 

A few years back I bought a Tokai FB-45, a very good copy of a reverse Firebird but with flatter neck profile. I find it easier to play than the Gibsons I've tried out.
