Your cart is empty.Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Firebird rocks a reverse body and headstock design as originally introduced in 1963 and was Gibson's first neck-through-body provides rich, warm tonality and incredible sustain. A Slim taper neck with a bound, Indian laurel fingerboard and acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlays offers fast and effortless playability. The newly refreshed Firebird is outfitted with a set of ProBucker FB720 pickups to recapture the scorching output and searing tones of the original voice for which the Firebird is known. It also features a rolled neck for a comfortable feel, graph tech NuBone nut, era-appropriate wiring and CTS pots.

Sounds good, light, slight intonation issue on 2 strings, action is decent but a tad high. Strings are usable.Awkward to sit with, makes funny jokes, go figure. Don't like the toggle switch, it's loose and doesn't seem to switch both pickups on in the middle position. A few frets could be smoothed off a bit more on the edges. One big thing I noticed and it may be normal with a neck through design, if I lay my shoulder weight on to the back of the body as I'm playing, the strings pitch out, like a whammy bar.I've been messing with guitars for a while but still consider myself a beginner. So spend another few dollars to finish setup. I don't think the MSRP is a good value but what I payed for this olive isn't bad value. it'll be a good beginner or intermediate axe, just be sure to have it set up correctly.

Arrived in 3 days in pristine condition. Required setup was minimal, just some bridge height adjustment. Some complained about rough fret edges, but I didn't encounter any. The build quality on these mid-priced instruments coming out of China nowadays should be enough to shatter any biases. With the exception of one fret that isn't perfectly seated (2nd fret, fortunately, so not a real issue), the thing looks and plays as flawlessly as my "real" Gibsons made decades back. The neck is surprisingly beefy, and the tone surprisingly twangy. Strongly recommend (assuming you're tall enough to handle a guitar that is roughly 1 inch shorter than a Fender Jazz Bass -- this boy is a chungus).

Firebird guitar is very well crafted. With subtle luthier adjustments, Guitar is super fine instrument. Including the sturdy case, what a great deal!!!

This is a very nice guitar. Epiphone version of the Gibson Firebird. Epiphone is made by Gibson, only made in China. Almost a complete replica of the Gibson model. The only difference is the Grover tuning machines are different now. A very good sounding guitar, quality is like Gibson. I upgraded to black hardware, black pickguard and black knobs.

Six stars!!! This is a fantastic piece of work. The pickups cleaned up very nicely when the volume knob rolled back. The neck was very playable. They fixed the neck dive as compared with previous models. The weight is very manageable. B E A-utiful finish.Over the moon in a white roomWith the badge and a spoon,On highway 61 with a free bird.Keef and Eric, and Allen, and Johnny in a box.

La guitarra trastea por todos lados al punto de no poder tocar acordes antes del 3er traste. Intentaré arreglarla con un luthier, la guitarra como llego no sirve.

I placed an order for this guitar on the 21st of this month, basically the 22nd cause it was early in the morning. It got here on the 23rd. I've never seen anything shipped so fast in my life. The product was boxed well and well protected. It was damn near in tune from the minute I opened it. I'll have to set the action a little better, but that very minor. It's beautiful and got to me fast!
