Great guitar
Easy to play. People that see it love it. I like the way it sounds the weight of it. Not hard to play for a few hours. Thanks to Brent and Sweetwater for another easy purchase.
Incredible Intuitive Instrument
This just feels good in your hand, on your lap, or in a rock 'n' roll stance. It's got swagger and it's got the juice to back it up. The Firebird Humbuckers in this are often confused with mini Humbuckers, but they are not the same thing. These have a crunch and sting that isn't quite as mellow as the mini humbucker.
I love the maestro vibrato as well, and it NEVER ever causes me grief or tuning issues.
On top of all of that Gibson nailed the VOS treatment. The build is top-of-the-line and the playability is as good as anything else that I own. It is a favorite in my collection that is extremely hard to put down. It can play just about anything that I throw at it too!!
I used the word intuitive, because that's how it feels when you play this baby. Like it's just meant to be…almost like it knows what you want from it next. Think about that and how many instruments feel like that in your hand. Not too many.
What a beauty
This is my second Gibson custom guitar. The build is perfect and the feel of it is incredible. It has that nice mahogany tone and sustain . You can't go wrong with Gibson custom guitars
It’s a beauty
Wonderful tone due to its mahogany body and neck. I also love the sound of the mini humbuckers which works well with Firebirds. The vibrola system is tailor made for firebirds and gives different colors to your chords and notes
