Gibson Firebird V Reverse Reviews

Did I really need another guitar? That was the question going through my head when I saw her in the music shop back in '02. After all, I already had 3 Gibsons, 5 Fenders, a couple of Carvins, and a home-built Warmoth "Frankenstrat" doubleneck.

"Just get the replacement trem arm and get out!" I told myself.

I wouldn't listen.

She was a beauty, and once I got her in my arms I knew I was in trouble. I had always loved the look of the Firebird V Reverse. This guitar just comes right out and says "Look at me! Hear me! Play me! You'll never go back to that boring old SG!"

I barely escaped with my...

     Mine is a classid White Gibson Firebird V. First I checked it out and thought: "I just got a new credit card with a $7k limit...but I can't afford any more debt" I went to the gym, got on a treadmill for 45 minutes thinking about it the whole time.I drove back,I traded in 100Watt Marshall full stack and an early 1970's Fender cab and $125.00. I had to have this guitar. 

      I am not in love with the Banjo Tuners on this thing and I'm waiting on Stienberger gearless tuners for replacements. I also replaced the bridge pickup with a Lollar because the stock pick up sounded shrill...
