Soar with the smoking tone of a Firebird. This limited-edition Epiphone features red-hot Alnico pickups and set-neck construction for serious sustain.
Overview
The Epiphone Limited Edition Firebird Studio Electric Guitar is a special take on the Firebird, with a unique finish and tone. The Firebird was the first guitar made at the legendary Kalamazoo factory to use neck-through construction and was part of a series of unique instruments drawn up by car designer Ray Dietrich. Ray was commissioned by Gibson's Ted McCarty to create radical designs for Kalamazoo-made electric guitars. Dietrich's designs included the Flying V and the Explorer. Many in the industry were skeptical when these futuristic looking instruments were first released. The angular Firebird didn't look like any guitar on the market when it was debuted in 1963. But now, the Firebird has become a staple axe of rock and roll guitarists and a wide range of artists including Keith Richards and Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, Stephen Stills, and Tom Petty have made the Firebird a hit maker. Now, Epiphone has brought back the once limited edition legend with the stunning, no-frills Worn Firebird Studio.

"Epi Firebird Pelham Blue"

I was prepared to send the "blemished" item right back. I had never purchased a "blemished" guitar before. It came in a box without all of the proprietary packaging - just the guitar wrapped and well padded. Upon examining the beautiful blue firebird I noticed that the protective shipping plastic for the pick guard had already been removed. BIG DEAL! The guitar was perfect. Now, I don't know if all of the "blemished" item are like this, but this was a good experience and a great value. As for the guitar itself it's an awesome Epiphone Firebird - what can I say.
