pah guitarist in my band, Tommy, once specifically ordered a guitar from a shop in time for our first gig, it came only about a week ago around 3 months after it supposed to!
never played a firebird but i used to have a thunderbird which i found was more of a rhythm intrument, was harder to use it to add fills and do interesting basslines but sounded ace just chugging.
what are firebirds like to play? typical gibson feel?
