    Very cool that you guys played completely different jams, and songs. It made the video much more watchable. I know it's gotta be hard to keep the songs fresh, when you do SO MANY videos like you two do. The extra effort is appreciated!!

    Love that Bassbreaker tone! I just bought a Custom Shop 63 Reissue Firebird 1 just a few days ago and this video helped with my decision. Thanks guys! Also, I put a GForce tuning system on my Gibson J45 (took a bit of force to get it on, not a perfect fit...) and it's brilliant on an acoustic.

    I saw the guitarist from DeWolff play one 2 weeks ago. He absolutely rocked it. Now I want one, because skill is in the gear.

  • @BigHornTM
    @BigHornTM 8 лет назад

    I've always adored firebirds since I was little, and ever-poignant-Chappers nailed it: it feels like me. Beautiful guitars, and I'm definitely going to try and track down a high spec.

  • @JeffreyWayneConnell
    @JeffreyWayneConnell 8 лет назад

    Picked up the model that the Captain's playing three weeks ago and I love it. I didn't think I was a Firebird guy but I tried it at the shop and just couldn't put it down. It's lovely to play and the PUPs sound really spectacular. I find leaning in on the tremolo can mess with the tuning a bit but I'm not huge on using tremolo anyway and I love the look of the tail piece. I usually play it through a Tone King Imperial MK II and that amp and those pickups are a great match.

  • @src248
    @src248 8 лет назад +5

    Lee, it's called non-reverse because the longer horn is on top, like a strat or most double cut guitars.

  • @dsi1
    @dsi1 7 лет назад

    That raised center section has V-shaped grooves cut on both sides. The body consists of the center neck section and two wings on the side. The wings have V-shaped edges that fit in this groove. This increases the size of the glue joint and makes aligning the wings easy as pie. The raised section on the headstock is a veneer. Most guitars have a veneer on the headstock but Gibson made it smaller than the headstock. It adds some reinforcement plus it's a design element that adds a sculptural quality to the headstock. Keep up the good work, lads!

    And Oh, the tones Rob was getting from it with medium gain, playing bluesy lead. 😖👌Mwaah!

  • @geoffreyallen888
    @geoffreyallen888 4 года назад

    I have a Firebird Studio, reverse like "Explorer" reverse and these guys in the video. Nitro s/burst, 2 P90s, headstock like a Strat (keys on top) and the "Eagle" scratchplate motif, no f/board binding, dots, all mahogany. Hard case, less than a grand. It's a super good cheap Gibson.
    When you stand up you have to hook the strap over the body or it hangs terribly and neck-dives but then you hook the strap and the full access neck presents itself perfectly and it's light and comfortable. I expect after a while this will affect the finish and it will relic up quite well. It's become my favourite of several Gibsons that I have - you can use it at the pub with your gear set up on the floor and people dancing near you without too much worry. It's flawlessly made and finished, handsome as Harry but it's not a museum piece.
