All about the Epiphone Firebird:
Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson Firebird™ rocks a reverse body and headstock design as originally introduced in 1963 and was Gibson’s first neck-through-body design.

A SlimTaper neck with a bound, Indian laurel fingerboard and acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlays offers fast and effortless playability. The newly refreshed Firebird is outfitted with a set of ProBucker FB720 pickups to recapture the scorching output and searing tones of the original voice for which the Firebird is known, and Grover® 18:1 ratio mini tuners. Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Original models feature a rolled neck for a comfortable feel, GraphTech® NuBone® nut, era-appropriate wiring, and CTS pots. An optional hardshell is also available.

Epiphone pickups sounded better, imo.
A lot of us think so
Can we please have inspired by Gibson range P90 Goldtop and 3-pickup Black Beauty?
I’ve got the Burny version’s of both of those, you should check them out, awesome guitars!
@@ces69 Thanks, will look those up.
@@sprayaho1ic
A bonus is, the Black Beauty comes with a Bigsby!
Please don't ask for stuff like that, I've already got too many guitars.
@@TexasBlues-123 Haven’t we all! Lol
So the pickups on the red guitar isn't real firebird pickups???
I have both and it’s amazing how good the epiphone is but you have to get the wiring pots caps switch and I can’t remember if we needed to change the output jack, frets polished The epiphone pickups sound great. They are a little fuller than the Gibson ones, I can see how some might prefer them. It depends on what vibe/tone you’re going for, they are both fantastic.
I highly recommend getting the epiphone.
The difference is in the pickups. I have the sunburst version. Great guitar. But you can’t beat the genuine Gibson pickups.
The pickups dont justify the $6500 plus price difference. You can buy the OEM firebird pickups from Gibson for about $120 each.
When Epiphone will set honest prices for chinese guitars?
My guess would be when people stop buying them at extremely inflated prices.
I thought the Epiphone pickups sounded better. The Gibson pickups sounded a little weak and empty.
The pickups on the Epiphone seem to have more midrange bite. Maybe they’re not as period accurate, but I thought they sounded better. There was always variation in vintage pickups anyway; sometimes they would get left on the winding machine a little longer and would be hotter and more midrange-y.
@@mretrain I ordered an Epi Firebird one month ago. It just came in and I should get it in a day or two. I got the Epiphone hard case too.
I think those Firebirds are way underpriced.
I want one in black w dot neck ?? Please make it and I will buy.
what artist plays firebirds... i dont know any ......
Johnny Winter, Brian Jones, Dave Grohl during the In Your Honor album days, Eric Clapton played one with Cream
And Don’t forget Phill Manzanaria of Roxy Music who plays a Firebird 7 in red and Joe Bonamassa who plays a Firebird 1.
One of my favourite guitars, even if a bit on the large size!
Are you serious?
Tom Petty and Mike Campbell as well
