Story: My brother Martin, a very enthusiastic and talented guitarist dreamt for me of the Firebird once. I said to him he shall try it out in the guitar-shop sometime anyway and then report to me of his experiences. He did this promptly and was tptaly enthusiastic about it, but as a Strat player he found the 635 mm Mensur typical of Gibson unpleasant and acclimatization needy, however. In addition, this instrument wasn't available in sunburst by Epiphone, and the original was anything but reasonable 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 complicated 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!
