Members nevermind Posted November 17, 2009 Members Share Posted November 17, 2009 I've always been a Firebird junky and have owned several, but never a non-reverse type. Was just sitting here staring at the non-reverse model on my scales/modes chart and thought I'd ask. If ya got one lets hear about it, and be sure to include lots of glamour shots.

Members sxyryan Posted November 17, 2009 Members Share Posted November 17, 2009 I always get confused. People seem to refer to this as the non reversed: But it technically is reversed from the standard way of the shape of a guitar. But it's the "standard" Firebird... Then you get this one referred to as the "non reverse", because it follows more typical guitar lines... Maybe I'm just dumb. Either way, I am bumping the thread, because I love them both (the top one is mine ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jtr654 Posted November 17, 2009 Members Share Posted November 17, 2009 I've own a 5 and a 12 string non reverse and presently own a 1 &3 reverse. The non reverse I liked but they have set necks not neck thru and there wasn't a lot of defference between the 1,3,5, & 7. The only thing that change were the pickups and the number of pickups in each and the tailpiece/ bridge. (1=2p90's,3=3 p90's, 5 =2 mini humbucker & 7 =3mini humbuckers ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members raviolio Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 I've always loved the vibe of the Non-Reverse Firebirds. I had really bad GAS for one awhile back... ended up getting one of the Eastwood Stormbird copies instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members raviolio Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 how is the stormbird? I've fought hard not to buy one or one of the Italias for a few years It's actually a pretty decent guitar, especially for the money (... I think I paid around $250). The fit and finish was surprisingly good... (probably in the same league as the nicer Epiphones). It played very well, and the stock P-90s weren't too bad. I ended up selling it (to a fellow forumite) because I tend to prefer really big fat, chunky necks; the neck on the Stormbird is more of a standard slim C shape. All-in-all, it was pretty fun... just not quite my thing. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
