What's Hot

edited April 2023 in Guitars £
Tempted by a Gibson Firebird.  Also open to Tokai or other decent brands. 

Must have Vibrola. P90’s preferred, but mini  humbuckers also ok. Sorry, no PAF’s. 

White or blue preferred.No red.No gold hardware. 
Every rule has an exception…….

What have you got?  

Marlin

edit:  bonus points for a chunky neck!

    Please can folks clear any offerings with me first, as I’ll probably be the one that ends up buying it from Paul. ;)

    I've got a 2018 Firebird studio with Bareknuckle Supermassive P90's up for sale at the minute if that'd be of interest at all? :) 
    Has the original hard case too

    I bought an Inspired by. It’s very good for the price paid, there is no vibrola though. 

    Just to mention there seems to be some fake Chinese ones on eBay at the moment. I’m surprised eBay haven’t deleted them 

    Instagram is Rocknrollismyescape -

    FOR SALE - Catalinbread Echorec, Sonic Blue classic player strat and a Digitech bad monkey

    EBay doesn’t care, they just want your money.  Try talking to a human there, near impossible mission!

    I’ve got a white Epiphone firebird for sale or trade. I know it won’t belong in the Gibson club and many people here may scoff at an Epiphone Firebird that also has a bolt on neck… 

    Anyway, upgraded Kent Armstrong mini hums, upgraded Sperzel locking tuners, gotoh hardware. All gold though… 

    I doubt there’ll be much interest here but I’ll be posting it on here soon when I get a chance.

    I have a mate who has an early 90s reissue he's thinking of selling. It has the proper mini hum style Firebird pickups, banjo tuners etc. He hasn't got around to listing it anywhere yet, but I could put you in touch if you like.
    Some of the gear, some idea
