Firebird
BILD
| Story: My brother Martin, a very enthusiastic and talented guitarist dreamt of the Firebird once. I said to him he shall try it in a guitar-shop sometime anyway and then report his experiences to me. He did this promptly and was totaly enthusiastic about it, but as a Strat-player he found the 635mm measure typical for Gibson unpleasant and acclimatization needy, however. In addition, this instrument wasn’t available in sunburst by Epiphone, and the original was anything but reasonable priced to my brother as a pupil! Since I was still working in the workshop of Boris Dommenget at that time, I took the opportunity and manufactured this challenging piece of guitar architecture. I think the designer wanted to go for certain that his concept isn’t copied by amateurs by the angled, continuous neck and the conical “wings” of this beauty . With the original pickup equipping it has been successful to get a genuine Firebird-Sound, despite the atypical long scale! | Model: Firebird Description: E-Guitar Scale: 647.7mm Head plate: Continuous; Mahogany/walnut tree; Reliefshaping; high gloss lacquered Mechanics: Original “firebird” banjo mechanics; closed; chrome Saddle: bone Neck: Mahogany/ walnut tree; 7 streaky Fingerboard: Ebony; trapezium-inlays Frets: 22 german silver-Jumbofrets Neck form: D-round Neck thickness: 1st fret: 19,00mm; 12th fret: 21,00mm Neck width: 44,00mm (saddle); 54,00mm (12th fret) Neck joint: neck-through Body: stucked-on Mahogany-wing Bodythickness: 45mm Pickups: 2x firebird-minihumbucker Elektronics: passive; 2x Volume; 2x Tone Bridge: Tuning-O-Matic with solid aluminium tailpiece String height: E-1st: 1,6; E-6th: 2,0 (mm) Surfaces: “classicburst” NC varnish Gewicht: ca.3,5kg Specials: Firebird atypical scale of 647,7 mm; engraved pickguard Value: € 4300 incl. flightcase |
