bluezguy Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I don't know where all these 'birds' have gone but, I'd like to purchase this guitar from anyone who may want to sell. I've had my 1976 re-issue stolen from me and can't afford a new one. Ebay seems to be too full of questionable stuff and their prices are too high. Anybody???

ladyscaglyc Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Bluezguy, Put photos or descript of your '76RI up on the post, in the meantime, do you have a preference on year/model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a real camera pic so I'll have to shoot it with my digital to show ya. Beggers can't be choosy (except in this case) . I need a Firebird V with the banjo keys & stock pups.. one that has not been 'rock starred' if ya know what I mean. Year is now unimportant. My best slide work came outta this instrument. It just ain't the same on a Les Paul or SG... it's really what you're used to. Now, I'm less a bunch of hair but, even more; less the instrument. As James Brown once screamed... HEPP ME!!! Uhhhhh.... Thanks. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oringo Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hello Bluezguy, This might upset some purists, but if you need a good playing reverse Firebird V for not much money, I suggest taking a look at an Orville by Gibson. Yeah, they were made in Japan, but the "G" serial number series has real Gibson USA made mini-humbuckers and they were made in the Terada factory, which has always had first-rate workmanship (better than a lot of '60s US made guitars, I'm afraid). They are set necks (long tenon), not neck through body, but I bought one not too long ago, and in all honesty, it sounds better through an amp than some of the 60's Firebirds I've owned (though my '68 non-reverse sounds better unplugged). I bought mine from an Ebayer in Japan who goes by the name of "Poochakira," and I recommend him to anyone without hesitating for MIJ guitars. Sorry to hear about your guitar being stolen-I hope you get it back, but in the meantime, good luck finding a replacement! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
