leicester35 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Is Epiphone planning to' date=' or have they already done a Non-Reverse Firebird? If they ever did make one, it hasn't been for many, many years. I love Firebirds, but Epi have rarely done the model justice in my opinion. I once found a really nice example of a reverse Epi 'bird in a used guitar shop in my home town. Through neck, banjo tuners, mini-hums - the whole shooting match. Should have bought it, but I didn't and have never found another one like it. The Epi Firebirds you are most likely to encounter are all reverse: the Korean made ones from the 1990s with the bolt-on neck (total and utter crap, avoid like the plague); the Firebird VII from the early 2000s (set-neck, not through neck, but still a nice guitar); and the studio model they still make today (full-sized hums and a set neck = a funny shaped G-400 in my opinion). But, like you, I'd love to get my hands on a reverse Firebird. Closest I can think of at the moment is the Eastwood Stormbird: Can't say I'm desperate to track one down though. I keep hoping Epi will come up with goods (one day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantana Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 The only one Epi ever did was the 5-string non-reverse bass, at least that's the only one that I've ever seen. You can gaurantee that if they had made one, I would own it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak show Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Is Epiphone planning to' date=' or have they already done a Non-Reverse Firebird?[confused'] Do yourself a favor and try out the Eastwood. They make great guitars, which are in no way inferior to Epiphones! http://www.eastwoodguitars.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmonlake Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 No P-90s or non-reverse body I'm afraid but there are some of these limited edition ebony firebirds coming to Dawsons (UK) over the next year. The direct drive tuners are pretty cool. http://www.dawsons.co.uk/acatalog/epiphone_firebird_studio_ebony_le_epiphone_club.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
