gfbx Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Hi, today I acquired a 3nd hand Gibson Firebird X. I'm trying to register in the so called "Firebird X Visionares Club" but when I try, an error occurs, saying that the Customer Code cannot be verified… what could I do?

gfbx Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 UPDATE: Something was wrong when I inserted the data for the first time, yesterday I tried again and it said "Serial Number already registed". So, does it make sense to contact Gibson to solve this situation? Otherwise, how could I solve it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 We like Guitar Porn, that's why. Phil Manzanera has a Firebird X and I was always intrigued by them but have never seen one in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelDeVille Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Why do I need to take pictures of it and post them here? So Gibson believes that you really and truly own it. You have to post pictures next to today’s newspaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Too many gizmos. Maybe another older Firebird VII before I croak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, no problem about that… I can put some of it later. But what's the best way to contact Gibson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfbx Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 Too many gizmos. Maybe another older Firebird VII before I croak. It's a bit diferent from a "regular" guitar, but at least the effects system it's kinda intuitive since you get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely, a previous owner (Probably the first) already registered it. Just like the message said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the message said. Sorry, I forgot to correct that. What I know now is that my FBX was shipped from USA to Portugal (where I live) around one and a half years ago (bought in Reverb, btw).And from the portuguese owners, I am the 3rd one. The 2nd portuguese owner said that he never registered the guitar, so I'm trying to talk to the 1st portuguese owner. If he said that he did not registered it as well, I will try to talk with the last USA owner, and so on. If things work out fine, I might be able to access the account that was created in first place. Otherwise, I may contact Gibson to try to solve this problem.

That's pretty cool that you can find out so much info about your instrument and talk to actual previous owners. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelDeVille Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I think we have to recommend that Gibson confiscate the alleged guitar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfbx Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) We haven't seen photos yet. You know what they say, pics or it didn't happen. Do you want a photo taken from a special angle to prove that the guitar belongs to me? Or just a regular photo? :P :P :P Edited May 16, 2019 by gfbx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
american cheez Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Do you want a photo taken from a special angle to prove that the guitar belongs to me? Or just a regular photo? :P :P :P the most important thing of all is to have the right things in the photo so it can be known to be authentic. 2) the hottest babe you know, naked. 3) the 2nd hottest babe you know, also naked, bonus points for garter and stockings (but nothing else) optional: the guitar in question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I'm afraid this is all a cruel hoax. There are no pictures to be seen as nobody actually owns a Firebird X. Not even Phil Manzanera, his was just a cardboard mock up for a publicity shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
