To the rix just a pity that I find useful pearlod Gibson instead of the mother for the keys again.
UTILIZATION
The handle, though a bit wider than the Fender did not seem dsagrable. Quite the contrary. I felt at home ds Premire notes.
APRS A Day, it adapts and all plans go smoothly. The radius is mild and trs suited to solo play. The key, rosewood, trs is smooth and does not snag Submitted for the bends.
The frets are extremely well polished and is felt without interfering.
Access in acute is simply amazing! It accde the box without forcing 22me.
And play in the treble seems to me trs prcis and easy.
The varnish on the back of the handle does not catch well and slides trs.
I notice when same as and the time it takes a while to adapt to the solo game due to the spacing of the strings, more important than a fender for example, particularly at the right hand.
Some might blame him a lack of speed (I think our shredders well liked), but it's not really the goal here, albeit with a little work, you get pretty good shredder. Me personal, it's not my cup of tea so good, has not impede me.
Nothing Gnant ct body, the guitar is enjoyable and lightweight.
Ct balance, an evolution has brought with respect to t firebird classic: The belt clip has easel ct t dplac up, which fixes the problem What's my classic firebird, knowing look ct head.
Here, we can lcher the firebird, it makes no pirouettes or picnic either.
Ct of the mcaniques (mini-grover), for cons, I find them much too close together. Dj than me, with my fingers for all I have to be trs prcautionneux to avoid the string of disagreement of ct I dare scarcely imagine the hell it must be for a scratch that has tubes in place of fingers.
Ct sound, unplug, one feels that one dj is an instrument of good quality. Something that confirms the connection.
I take back a point for mcaniques trs little space.
Namely: it comes with a flight-case format that I call a 'liner'.
It is standard and PSE 6 times the weight of the guitar.
My bassist possde a rick and even in his flycase, the whole is more lightweight than the Firebird in its holster.
The firebird is being protected, but as long as you're walking, you could get on with painful aches scne. (If you are not dead exhaustion APRS 4 km walk off with that thing at arm's length).

SOUNDS
I play the cold-wave, blues, rock, heavy ... and ALL (almost) goes great on this guitar.
I mainly play Fender Dual Showman on a Red Knobs.
Premire findings, the output level microphones trs is powerful and the bass are particulirement pchus.
In Manir gnrale, we note a report trsmlodieux harmonics, coupled excellent sustain. This bird "sings", and even though trs!
The clean sounds are clean and pure trs.
In the neck position, it's almost a foil, ideal for rock solid in the clear.
In the neck position, it was a much more mellow and serious trs Submitted. Every nuance of the game are transmitted with a incredibly Fidler. The dynamic range is wider than the neck pickup bridge pickup.
Intermdiaire position, it binds the qualities and characters of two microphones and then we have a warmth and expressiveness increased.
The firebird is a guitar while having his characters speak let compltement guitarist.
Few guitars have the particularity to transcribe this, Fawn Fidler, the feel of the guitar.
In its saturated. Acute position is the harmonic fte! And many beautiful harmonics.
If you like hot and heavy roukoukou powerful, is joy.
The notes are prcises: arpges when you play, even in saturated much you distinguish every note. Whether it is for the rhythm like the solos, it is all the more enjoyable.
Whether natural or whistle, the harmonics are obtained so easily, that it is a breeze.
In the neck position, it has a sound that, while both imposing remains soft, and always with the expressive micro ct serious.
The two microphones trs marry well together in the saturation to get the blues (the crunch ZZ Top), rock pchu more, according to rglages trs prcis that can be be using the knobs for tone and volume.
Compared a Les Paul, the firebird studio has a little more slamming, and a little less roundness.
To the ear, the firebird studio is somewhat furnished top-medium that Les Paul.
And compared to an SG, the firebird studio is less aggressive and biting.
It does not sound like any other Gibson.
It remains even when significantly more fat than a Start.
Tested during a live blues beef, initially on a Vox Pathfinder 15R, I confirm that this guitar has the PCHE and the clean sounds are wonderful.
His tone color allows it to be much dtach strata that while taient Submitted. Having these two guitars in a set of well diffrencier allows guitarists (if they are two) because the sounds are really distinct.
However, I feel (personal opinion) that requires adopting a two game styles DIFFERENT depending on whether you are on a Start or a firebird. Hard to explain, it's like the fact that we do not drive like you drive a propulsion traction.
I find that much of a stratum, we arrive quickly trs speak, as I found here that it took a much longer time to start exploiting that this was in the belly scratched. This is a guitar that jealously hides a lot of subtlety and we really need to be able to tame its maximum advantage.
3rd test, always in the same beef blues, a Marshall Valvestate ... And I saw that from a '62 Start (which ignores the branch just before Marshall), the microphones of the firebird have an output level much higher lev.
It is harder to maintain a clear and pure with Marshall.
A final test with a friend on an old Silvertone amp.
The poor Silvertone, although excellent, does not have too understand what was happening.
All these serious did saturate very easy, with a runny ct, and the Firebird was not expressed at its best through this amp.
To test these amps DIFFERENT allowed me to see that for a Firebird Studio to associate the best amps are those with a channel that comes easily stay clear when large levels of cash outflows.
Fender, Vox, Hiwatt and me seem to be the type of amp for the Firebird Idaux.
In any case, in terms of sound, to me is flawless.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for one month, Fawn intense and gave me the pleasure of playing.
What I like:
- The look
- The sound gnral
- Its typical characters and unique
- Respect for the expressiveness of the guitar
What I did not aim:
- The mcaniques too close together.
I tried jou owns and lots of guitars before this one, and is one of two guitars in my life made me have a crush on them.
The report qualitprix is what it is: it's expensive (especially when you start to have options like mine, ie varnish cherry finish and gold, rose 1600), but we know that value for money and it REALLY worth the price. Nothing more, nothing less.
The firebird studio is not in a canvas DEFINITIONS rock and sailing with ease in this constellation: blues, blues-rock, garage-rock pop-rock, heavy rock, metal-heayy.
This is a guitar type, with some characters, and leaves from the identity-great guitarist, by transcribing the wonderful nuances of play and touch.
I would do this once a choice plutt 2.
However, I am considering buying a strat tt or later, for reasons of complementarity in terms of sound.
