The Firebird Studio combines the "reverse-body" style of the original series with Gibson's traditional set-neck design. Full-size humbucking pickups and optional gold-or chrome-plated hardware Enhance the Studio's unique place in the Firebird family.
UTILIZATION
The handle is very special and forcémen not easy to play. However this is not what we want such a guitar. The sound is excellent in the rough. The two microphones are really complementary. They keep the same grain, but each brings a warmth and a very different attack.
SOUNDS
I play rock, blues, jazz to pop the metal ....; everything goes perfectly. I really like the sound of this very special guitar. We are far from all the other instruments. She keeps a very good precision with a dynamic like no other. all sounds are typed and that's what I love. Whatever the receiver found this particular grain. I tried many guitars before making my choice, but even the big brands (such as PRS, Lag, Fender, Other Gibson, Gretsch, Duesenberg ,...) did not convince me. The firebird has often a much less good violin but the sound is really above all that I heard for me.
OVERALL OPINION
It's not a guitar to make sure times. it has a real character and you will not find all the sounds of groups with known. This is precisely why I fell in love. she has the temperament and suits me perfectly. But I do not advise those who want "to resemble". This is a guitar to try it, love it or you will find anywhere. The Non important is the feelings that one can feel for her. You can budget with a slightly higher target a Firebird V or see VII. They have a more refined violin (do not expect miracles at ergonomics, ca rest of Gibson) and a precision and an increased grain through minihumbuckers.
