    I just bought a 1963 Firebird III (just like this demo). My favorite guitar of all time - - and I've owned well over 100 guitars.

    Like Johnny Winter once said "Damn, does that get it or what ?!?"
    F' YEAH!!! Man, I was expecting P-90s. Almost shed a tear when I saw mini's and dots. The best guitar for what i'd want I've seen here in awhile.
    maybe too wound up but the opening jam had a 'where's One' thing to it. It didn't matter once the single notes started. Neck pick up was by far my fave tone from this.
    Thanx, Lemmo and Jen. Made my day !!

    Clapton has dabbled with a firebird. Tom petty and Mike Campbell seemed to have a warehouse full of them. Paul Stanley on the cover of Kiss Alive and of course Allen Collins & Johnny Winter. Adrian Gurvitz had a glitter harlequin one that captivated me in 1975.

    Allen Collins of Lynyrd Skynyrd is my favorite firebird player ever. He had one of these but switched out the bridge mini bucker for a dogear P90. He had an absolutely amazing tone.

    @boco1951 4 года назад +2

    You mean Firebird V the III has p 90s? It does have the Dot neck instead of the Inlays, but my 66 was a V with dots too. So the inlay and not having the ABR-1 make it a III?

    • @michaelgallagher3640
      @michaelgallagher3640 4 года назад +2

      Not one of the III's I saw on The Google had p-90s. Pretty sure Michael is correct on dis one.

    • @davidkieltyka9
      @davidkieltyka9 4 года назад +1

      The reverse V has trapezoid inlays in addition to an ABR-1 and fancier vibrato. The one Michael is playing is a III. The non-reverse V, like yours (and mine), has dot inlays. The non-reverse III has P90s…three of ‘em, like the one Mark plays near the end of this video.

    It is a cool looking guitar tho I'm not crazy about the sound , seems harsh and floppy , of course Lemmo can make anything sound good , have mercy , been waitin on the bus all day , classic , maybe I'm just prejudiced cause I never cared for offsets but always fun to watch Lemmo noodle , thanks guys.

      if you hit more you will see the link to Norm's reverb shop with all of the guitars and their prices. All i will say is that it is substantially less than 15K. But it's still a pretty penny as they say.
