Come on. Don't let that stop you. Hendrix would have just turned it over and played it that way. [biggrin]

Key may be it says "mahogany body 'available' with burst finish". Like perhaps what they are showing is not mahogany thus no burst? The article about it doesn't mention body wood at all so not clear.

Went to see a band called "Blackberry Smoke," at the "Wormy Dog Saloon" in "Bricktown" (OKC),

last weekend. One of the guitar players had a great looking Firebird...much like the one pictured,

(bound neck, gold hardware) but with 3 pickups, and in Candy Apple Red! It was "Stunning!"

Sounded great, too! I'd never seen one, quite like it, so I wondered then, if it was some

special edition, or "anniversary" re-issue.

I'm good for now, I'm already like, so over it. Really, I'am. Must not be lead into temptation, must maintain composure. Got my 70s Tributes close at hand, just in case I feel a little twitch. Oh oh, got to get off of this thread like so fast.

Oh Yeah! Love me some of that Hot Tuna, The Band also! Speaking there of, I believe Jorma Kaukonen played a Firebird at one time or another. I,m sure I've seen a snap of him playing one somewhere.
