SWEET CARVIN!
Check out that Gibby Firebird Glen Frey is playing!
Reminds me of Warren Haynes, Johnny Winter and Allen Collins...
They knew how to make F-birds WORK.
Allen Collins (1952-1990) of Lynyrd Skynyrd
(Note the vintage tremolo on this one)
Johnny Winter ("Still alive and well..")
Warren Haynes of Allman Bros. Band & Gov't Mule

*looks at Firebird pictures*
No reverse ones, eh? The reverses are very rare creatures.
EDIT- Allow me to explain what a reverse Firebird is:
Firebird I - One pickup. Combination stud bridge/tailpiece. Chrome hardware.
Firebird II Artist CMT - A limited production instrument from the early 1980s; features a maple top, mahogany body, set mahogany neck, two standard-sized humbuckers, and toggle switches to control active Moog electronic tone controls.
Firebird III - Two pickups, Tune-o-matic bridge and Gibson Vibrola. Chrome hardware.
Firebird V - Two pickups, Tune-o-matic bridge with Maestro "Lyre" Vibrola; reissues feature a stop-bar tailpiece. Chrome hardware.
Firebird VII - Three pickups, Tune-o-matic bridge and Maestro "Lyre" Vibrola tailpiece. Gold hardware.
Firebird Studio - Two standard-sized Alnico humbuckers, Tune-o-matic bridge with stop-bar tailpiece. Chrome or gold hardware. Set neck.
Firebird XII - Two pickups, twelve string non-reversed version on the Firebird.
Non-Reverse Firebird - Collectors' term for a Firebird I, III, V or VII featuring a headstock with the tuners on the bass side, and a body having the bass side horn slightly longer than the treble side horn.

Personally, I wouldn't use it to prop a door open.

Thats not ugly- its different. Red and white are the colors the Stripes predominately use. I could see that it doesn't have the sexy curves, but to me its different. It stands out.CygnusX1 wrote:I think they're unique. They're HEAVY, SOLID sons-o'-bitches too. you'llWalkinghairball wrote:Sorry, but it is an ugly guitar.

Don't Rickenbacker's use the stereo setup also?ElfDude wrote:My bass player showed up last night with an 80's LB60 that he picked up at a pawn shop. Apparently the shop was having trouble selling it (because of the color, they said) and let him take it home for $150!
Sorry about the blurry photo, I was in a hurry.
He was baffled by the stereo thing and had purchased a Y adapter so he could run both outputs to his amp simulatneously. Heh. We showed him how it worked.
Anyway, other than belt buckle rash it's in excellent condition. I fell in love with it right away. He's a realtor, so he's having a bit of a tough time lately and was saying, "I dunno if I can keep it", so I begged him to give me first chance if he decides to sell it.
UGH. Reminds me of that silly ass "Family Truckster" station wagon inYYZ30 wrote:Thats not ugly- its different. Red and white are the colors the Stripes predominately use.
