latka Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 I'd love to get a firebird! How much did you pay? you have to understand theres a difference between the us and norway,where I`m from. I paid 6000,- norwegian kroner. thats about 1100 dollar. yep its expensive over here. and we generally do not get that much of a discount either.

Prospero Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Still.. where did you order it from? Do you have a link? If for no other reason than to look at the thing. There's a couple of us around here that go nuts for Firebirds. See, now we're expecting photos of the thing as soon as it gets to your home. Better get the camera ready now, my friend.

Prospero Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 That's a nice looking Firebird. Much better than the current Studio Epiphone offers. I wonder if it is a neck-through-body construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard of guys buying Burny and Orville Les Pauls. Apparently closer to the real thing than even Epiphone can make'm. But I can't figure out how to navigate these Japanes sites.

latka Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 no,I went to my local guitar store,they ordered the guitar from luthman,the scandinavian distributor. as i said,it will be in my possession in mid-may. but if its the model that`s in the pic above,i`m not so sure about. it has block inlays,and a fb V should have trapezoids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricochet Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Is that the same as the one you're getting, Latka? Very nice! Sure beats the studio in looks. 50000 Yen is aprox. 320 euros. Not too bad. Wondering 'bout shipping now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latka Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 hmm, hope its like the one in the last picture. that vintage sunburst is great looking. Gonna swap tuners to banjo tuners,as I did with my epi firebird VII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
