Wanted: Non-reverse Firebird
What's Hot
I’ve been keeping a casual eye out for one of these for a few months. I haven’t really seen much available though.
One option is bringing in a vintage one from the USA, but that would mean selling 3 others to buy a guitar that I might not get on with.
So...does anyone have one for sale? Maestro preferred but will consider others.
Thanks

i'd be VERY reticent to courier a non-rev FB coz there are very few decent hard cases for them and the headstock length combined with the Gibson easy-snap angle means you're likely to end up with a load of mahogany splinters that used to be a guitar

Is it yours?
Interesting thanks - but I expect they’ll be near the price of a vintage one...
Good advice but I think I’d be lucky to find one over here so bringing one over is probably the only option.

I have been offered a very nice custom shop guitar from a member here that I’m toying with the idea of buying. It doesn’t quite tick every box though and that’s the only reason I haven’t jumped straight on it.
The new 2020 models look very nice but I expect they’ll come with a heafty price tag.

It was shipped yesterday so should be with me soon.
Thanks @freakboy I was torn between the sunburst and Pelham - not sure which I prefer but in the absence of no other blue guitar I went for it.
@Teyeplayer that was my thought process. My only reservation (afterthought) was the neck profile. Pretty skinny on these by all accounts?
I think the carve may be slightly more even over the neck and this along with the displacement off to the left goes a certain length in stretching those hand tendons.
