Firebird Necks!

[jrfox92]

Alllllll these new necks suddenly are making me feel like I should spend the money I've saved up for a new amp on a neck for a special new firebird I plan to begin building once I get my shop up and running.  :laughing7: Does anyone else plan on spending some cash and grabbing up any of these?

I don't, for whatever that's worth.

All them have the headstock pointing the wrong direction, which is odd because when it's turned the proper way the headstock looks like a bird head... a firebird perhaps.

This one is exactly what I had in mind for a project I've been mulling over for a long time:

Too bad I don't have $650 to cough up...

Right now my Gecko-GAS is bigger.

But ask me again tomorrow.

If they turned the headstock around, maybe  :dontknow:

Like this? https://www.dropbox.com/s/yuvr0pehlunwhuj/IMG_0077.JPG? I just built this over the summer. I ordered it as a regular reverse, but they messed up and built the neck backwards. It was wait 6 weeks or take a good discount. I took the discount.

Mahogany body and neck, pau ferro fingerboard, Lollar FB pups for neck and bridge, standard gibson wiring, steinberger tuners. Put about $2000 into it total.

Nice piece. Good job. I like that headstock orientation better.

I wonder if Warmoth ever fixed the pothole locations on those bodies?

 

[nickmv]

Yeah my local shop guy had to file those down when he was doing the wiring for it. My skills in soldering and handling wire routing through such a small cavity are pretty lackluster.

He ended up doing a great job on them, and you can only notice if you closely compare the unground knobs to the ground ones. I'm not sure whether they've fixed them. I meant to email Robert @ Warmoth to give him the dimensions for these knobs. I'll see about measuring them when i get home.

My Firebird GAS was settled pretty much forever with this.  :glasses10:

I had them do a superwide 1 7/8" neck, Fatback profile with a Firebird headstock.  Most comfortable neck I've ever owned so far.  I might someday build a reverse Firebird, but more likely a true RD copy with an LP headstock.

That's assuming G*bs*n's legal team stops Warmoth from making LP headstocks...

Looks really good!  :icon_thumright:
