So, these have been out long enough now for someone to have gotten bored and ready to move onto the next thing, right? Anyone want to move one on?

    What was wrong? The ones Ive tried were fantastic. Im curretly also looking for a used one but at £580 new, they are great valve for a proper built FB...

    It didn't sound that good really, very limited, and was very oddly balanced on a strap.
    i was really disappointed but maybe I'm just not a Firebird person as I didn't like a CS either.

    Tokai ones sometimes come up for less than a new Epi JB one.

    What constitutes a proper built firebird? I have a Tokai Firebird III that I'm selling if you fancy two 'buckers rather than one.

    9 piece laminate neck through with wings stuck on build is what makes a proper FB

    I have one. It's not for sale, sorry. I really like it. Things to know:
    The neck's big and decent cases are not cheap.
    The pickup is great, it balances well on a strap (for a Firebird) and stays in tune well.
    Hope this helps and good luck with your search.

    I played one of these today in a guitar shop. I liked it. Very light and resonant and sounded nice plugged in. So I want one.

    Just for giggles I also had a go on one of these, as another example of a large necked Epi:

    It was nice, but up beyond the 12th feet the neck gets huge, like comedy huge, a combination of a thick and wide neck. Too big for me, and I like a full 1 inch all the way along, if you pardon the expression.
