Story:<\/span><\/strong> <\/span>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\u00a0typical for\u00a0Gibson 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\u00a0piece 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!<\/td>\nModel:<\/strong> Firebird<\/span>
