Gibson Custom Shop Custom Firebird - Dave's Guitar Shop

Check this thing out! It has a LP Custom neck and headstock!Not sure if I dig it yet , But it is certainly unique!

. . .

idk.

i saw it, and now i feel molested.

In all seriousness, I think it has an identity issue.

Unique, yes. This looks as if you were mating dogs with cats. only like, guitars.

Maybe if it were black & had body binding....maybe!!

Grand Pappy · 07-21-2011, 09:45 PM

$5k!!!

Sorry, too close to this.....

Bluesky · 10-07-2011, 12:45 PM

Its still there..........I really dig it. Very Unique. I wonder if it solves the headstock breakage issue? Surprised Someone like Rick Neilson hasn't snapped it up........

Uhhh...nope...

I mean, it doesn't look that bad, it's just that I love FB headstocks....

It does have a certain Lucy quality to it...

Thats a really good comparision! I guess on second thought....it does look kinda wrong. But I would think a collector would be all over it. Its been there for months so, not alot of people are getting it. Then again......Hardly no one bought a Flying V in 58' either did they?

The Refugee · 10-07-2011, 07:59 PM

Those RDs sure are cool.

But on a firebird, I'll stick to a firebird headstock. Those things look hellanice.

Bluesky · 10-07-2011, 09:58 PM

They had a Killer Blowout on the RD's on Musicians Friend Stupid deal of the day about a month ago. I missed it by a few hours when they sold out. I think they were like $699 or something. get a set of used Boutique pickups and RS kit and for a little over $700 I bet it made a killer little axe.

Johnny Winter played a red 'Bird for a time with a LP headstock, although it was seen rarely. Probably reduces on the neck dive, but I don't believe it's worth it.

Grand Pappy · 10-09-2011, 09:31 PM

I scored one of the blow out RD's from MF and I got to say they are real nice.
I think it's heavier than my 76 Deluxe.
The stock pups really sound good. If I keep it, I'll keep the stockers in there and maybe do the RS mod.
I allready bought an RS upgrade kit when they were on sale.

Killer deal. I hope you got one of the blonde ones.

I like the regular headstock better
