Awesome! I love the body shape of the Firebird. With that said, checking out the LP now. Appreciate the feedback!!!

Wow, thank you to everyone for the replies! I really appreciate it!!!

Thank you again for the help Eades! I really appreciate it! 🙂

I wonder why the 2019 is cheaper than the 2018 and 2017? Is it just a matter of pickups (mini-humbuckers vs p90s vs humbuckers)? Maybe the previous models are more desirable in terms of finish?

Oooh, the the 2017 studio is nice! Are the humbuckers better than the Gibson mini-humbuckers (which, I think come on the 2019)? Is this one you would pick over the others? Also, do all models have the same bridge? I watched a review that said the bridge on the 2019 tribute is really easy to adjust. Lastly, are they all of the same body size? I'll probably be on my couch a bit, and this is another reason why I picked the Firebird over the Explorer (I read many folks like the Explorer for couch play). Thanks so much Eades!!! I really appreciate your help!

Hello, New here. I've never owned a Gibson, and am looking at buying one. I really dig the Firebird as it's like the Explorer (I prefer the rounded corner body shapes). I'm looking to buy a solid body electric so I can play mostly outlaw country/rock/blues. After having done a bit of research, I've narrowed down my picks to these two guitars: 2019 Gibson Firebird Tribute 2018 Gibson Firebird Studio From what I can tell, the biggest difference are the pickups? The 2018 has p90s, whereas the tribute uses mini-humbuckers? I'd love some advice on which is the better pick overall. In this case, does more expensive mean better? I like the looks of both, so I could go either way. Thank you so much for the help!
