I don't know much about Firebirds. I know there have been a few shape variations, and the nicely named "non-reverse" Firebirds, but they're kind of just pointy guitars to me.

JReganK:
Can someone direct me to the FoyYay?!
No: I've learned we can get banned for mentioning L'Orange. Some Gibson SGs have infamously narrow necks, making them difficult for many people to play. One of Angus Young's faves is one of those.
My ride-or-die was a Guild Starfire III that got away from me (thanks CITES). I also like Teles and have a totally-healthy not-at-all-hazardous obsession with the Bass VI and related thingies. But mostly I'm kind of chasing what I felt with that Guild.
I mean, I'm not familiar with his whole oeuvre, but…I mean, he puts the thought and sweat into these. They're deeper and more ambitious than one would expect.

Actually. They're very playable with the tone and sustain you'd expect from a Gibson. 😉Ellen:

Who says that's not Pinky?! I think if we're meant to interpret them to scale that's an acoustic bass guitar. Most of which are, of course, terrible.Kitschy Mama: Perky wears the hat!
