Beerad12 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Those double cuts look really good! I like the different finishes on the firebirds too. It'd be nice if they did some finishes like that on a USA run firebird with the neck through construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Glue-in neck on a Firebird, what's the point? I like that red SG, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerad12 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Glue-in neck on a Firebird, what's the point? Agreed. Firebirds are supposed to be neck throughs with mini humbuckers. I've said it once and I'll say it again. The Gibson Firebird has got to be the sexiest guitar ever made! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 When I saw that first tobacco Firebird my thoughts were "what a handsome guitar" and "you might as well just buy an Explorer". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MstGuns Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Is there any information out about the 2019 Les Paul Junior DC! Is it going to be the cheap version they came out with last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Bill 212 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 IDK about those FIREBIRDS, without the raised Center-Block its really not a FIREBIRD, and I've yet to see one with binding on the body, IDK....... Are those Mini-Humbucker's on the DC's ? or soapbar P-90's ? I do like the Custom Shoppe 'SG'(Les Paul), its probably only $7,000 too, and its just another example of what will keep me buying STANDARDS for the rest of my life (if GIBSON stops with the 22% yearly price increase's)..

mihcmac Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I can't believe anyone would put these ugly pickups on a LP Special and not sure about the tacky pick guards.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 That pink SG has the Les Paul (Custom?) moniker on the TRC. I realise there is precedent but that is too confusing for most people. Or maybe they ran out of the correct TRCs? Yes the 1st Firebird looks great, but I agree it should retain the through-neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Ah Ah Ah! Those are not poor plastic Epi ... Sorry dude the combination of those pickups with the 5-ply pick guard, too much glam on a LP Special DC, just doesn't work for me.. I'm not trying to be a traditionalist, but your concept would look a whole lot meaner with open coil humbuckers or put some P-90/100's back in.. Not an Epi....

Wild Bill 212 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 IDK 'bout these guitars...seems like GIBSON is trying to hard ! I saw 2 or 3 on this entire page that I really like the looks of. The 'Black-Beauty' LES PAUL Custom IS BAD-A$$ as is the 'SG' Custom 1961 Re-Issue 'Les Paul'...and the one FIREBIRD that has a raised center-block, but it just may be the ugliest colour I have ever seen on a guitar. So that makes 2 ! DGMW, The sparkle blue 'SG' Custom and the other SG's are OK. I used to think it is almost impossible to **** up an 'SG', then the 2018 GIBSON 'SG' Special came out, almost ate my words coz it was close, BUT NO ! and then in 2019 that GOLD 'SG' with the scooped out Cap, OMG, that has got to be the worst lookin 'SG' I have ever seen, YIKES !!! I would not say I would never play it but I definitely would never buy it, bet it has neck-divitis too.. During the 2016-2018 time frame I got rid of all my old GIBSON's (Kept my '94 NIGHTHAWK STANDARD) and bought new ones that I actually think are improvements over the oldies but greaties I sold. The 4 STANDARDS/TRADITIONALS I went and bought, I am certainly glad I did.Through all of this, I learned that when it comes to GIBSON, hestitating or waiting till next year is just not a good idea.
