PSA - Firebird Zero

redrighthand

Well sort of a PSA.

Amazon have these in stock. And they're cheap at £499.  They're hideous though aren't they?  I can't quite decide, but am erring on the side of hideous.

I kinda like em. Wish it had a 2-piece TOM/stoptail but I guess they had to hit a pricepoint. I shall await some reviews first...

edit: Thomann has PB and ebony in stock too if you want to give your cash to a slightly less evil box shifter.

It's a good name, I have Zero interest in owning that Firebird....

the single pickup Bonamassa Epiphone on the other hand.

If they could sharpen their pencil on the deal, I'd be interested.

The deal I have in mind, is Amazon pay me £499 to have one....

Not much worse than a Firebird X.

They're vaguely Firebird shaped but that's where the similarities end.

BloodEagle

They look like no-name Thomann knockoffs

I was looking for more info on you tube about the JB firebird 1 and several review videos popped up there are certainly some QC horror stories out there. One with a totally messed up bridge looks like the posts drilled at an angle, multi piece poplar bodies,

so so definitely will hang on for the Epi Jbo version. Despite having his signature on it looks like Epihone have done a good job

That Gold Mist looks kinda saucy though.
