Is this a fake? I love the Firebird I almost more then any other guitar, and you almost never see them. This one looks a tad fishy..

I like Firebirds quite a bit. Damn nice guitars. The one thing I can't get over though is the price to try to buy a vintage one.

If I ever went to buy a Firebird I style guitar (or any Firebird variation), I'd much rather hit up Doug Kauer to have him build me one of his Banshees:

There's no way a '64 had an 8 digit serial number. Modern pots, refret/refin, all the other aged parts are bolt on.

I'm sure it's real. the seller is a big-ass deal in Chicago and should know what they have.

Don't worry, when the cease and desist comes, mine will probably go up in value

Undoubtedly, for a small period of time due to notoriety.

After which it will topple back into the ditch.
