Riffster Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 That's a lot of flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I hated the non-reverse Firebirds since they came out and of course the Firebird X.To my eyes the reverse body Firebird is one of the most beautiful guitar designs ever created.

BigKahune Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 . I like the top. A bit too much flame inlay on the fretboard for me. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I'd hit that. Can I trade my Tele for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S t e v e Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 This is exactly why the Jem is almost sold; I thought I could get past that "Vine of Life" inlays. I fricking hate it, way too much fluff. although it's no where near as "fluff" as the above lp fingerboard...i like the "vine of life" though i gotta admit B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krock Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 although it's no where near as "fluff" as the above lp fingerboard...i like the "vine of life" though i gotta admit B) I also love the ken lawrence explorer fingerboard but loads of people think its too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy R Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I think the inlay is cool it just clashes with the flame top and burst finish. Put that on a solid black body and it would look way better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 There's too much flame on the fingerboard. I can get into the body, but that fingerboard is just too loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 All IMHO, of course... The f'board inlay is way too flash. In fact it ranks with the worst I've ever seen. The hardware is too flash. I don't really like gold hardware even on an Ebony Custom. On a 'burst I think it's truly awful. The 'bling' TRC is too flash. The 'Ship's Lifebelt' headstock inlay is too flash. The Gold/Pearl tuner buttons are too flash. Even the top is too highly figured for my taste. Other than that it's fine. (I actually quite like the colour of the 'burst so it's not all bad....) I love this sentence from Gibson's own spec sheet as per the link in the first post; "There is elegance, and there is class. Then there is the Les Paul Ultima................" Yup. P.

EVOL! Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yuck. Not a fan of fancy flamed or quilted tops or excessive fret inlays. Reminds me of a PRS. Blech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
