Odd ergonomics if you're not used to them.
Headstocks that prefer the bachelor life and don't like to stay attached.
Modern pickups that many don't like.
Johnny Winter.
Eric in his prime.
Possibly the coolest *looking* guitar of all time.
Play one standing up before you buy it.

Cons - the nut feels like it's in another room whether seated or standing. They feel so far to the left that even Jeremy Corbyn would struggle to play one....

It can still be a challenge to reach an F note on the bottom string if I don't make sure it's hanging at just the right angle though.

A Firebird 1 is definitely one of the coolest looking guitars out there. However, as @ICBM points out, it can look wrong or even faintly ridiculous on some people. They can also be neck-heavy - at least until the headstock comes off in the first hint of a stiff breeze.
however, moved it on as I concluded that I looked like I was in the grip of a particularly acute mid life crisis when playing it.
