crush01 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I have some GAS and the some funds. Looking at the following used guitars and would like some opinions. Both used. 2010 SG faded with 57,57+ p/u upgrade. CTS pots (500K) or Firebird 70S Tribute stock w/mini HB. Both are in the $600 range and have HSC. I play mostly blues and blues rock; Black Crowes and DBT style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjsinla Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I think that the faded SG comes with 57's anyway but still seems like decent deal. Not sure about the Firebird, they don't seem to hang in the right position on a strap for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Play them both (if you have the opportunity), or at least, one's of the same model, in a store. It's the only way to be sure, which you're more apt to like the best! They have very different weights, and how they feel! Either one, will work for the type music you mentioned. Good Luck!

Jim Zeppelin Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hey crush01, I have both, a 2013 SG standard and a 2013 Firebird and the SG is smaller, lighter, shorter, and has slightly better upper register access. I also play the same type of music. Love the bird but if I had to choose I'd keep the SG. Good luck. Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
