    Epiphone Firebird looks cool and it has that heavy distorted sound to it. It is also very comfortable to sit with as well even though it doesn't look it.. Its a brill guitar for heavy rockers,it looks the part, it sounds VERY heavy,its comfy and its also got very high quality parts to it.Only amateurs would not even think of buying this beauty!When friends see this they Will go WOOOOOW! Onl bad point is you can barely hear that great noise when its too distorted!

    It is a lovely designed guitar with many different finishes, but its not just good because of its looks it plays awesome as well. It look amazing, it plays wicked and its everything you need a guitar to be.

    The sound and looks are great and very similar to the Gibson Firebird but it's much much cheaper. Nice guitar easy to play good neck easy to move from chord to chord 10/10 for me.

    I love the look, and the access to the upper frets is better than any other I've used! It's a great guitar, really easy to play. However, the weight isn't distributed very well.

    I love my Firebird VII! It is absolutely the the nicest guitar I have owned (and I've owned a lot)! This guitar is every bit as good as the Gibson. The 3 mini humbuckers have a nice sound somewhere between that of a Les Paul and a Strat. The tone is sweet and just a little thinner than a Les Paul but fatter than a Strat. Great for classic rock, blues even jazz. The guitar is a little heavy and takes some time to get used to. Move the strap button as described above and you'll love it! This guit ...

    I have owned and regularly used an Epiphone Firebird VII as my primary guitar for several years now, usually playing it through a variation of Fender and Vox amps. I would recommend it to anyone who loves its tone, which can be very unique very often, and who loves its overall styling.

    I've twiddled the trust rod, raised the action so high you have to stand on the strings to play them and got through hundreds of bridges, still it buzzes, particularly the low E string. Its Hell if you are trying to play power chords or grunge.

    If you are going to buy then make sure you see one before you do, do not order from websites (particularly ones that send your guitar to Germany for 3 months by accident before it gets to you).

    Also the shape is great but colour can make it look tac ...

    Epiphone Firebird: During the last few years I've been collecting and playing guitars with different pickups:
    Les Pauls from Epiphone in black and sunburst with humbuckers and a '56 Gold top with P-90. There are some more guitars like an old Vantage Avenger with a push-pull-poti (humbucker/single-coil), a very nice Ibanez SZ520 with humbuckers, a Fender Stratocaster with single-coils, DeArmond with silvertron-pickups and again Epiphones - SG 400 and Gothic-Explorer with Floyd Rose - these agai ...

    Epiphone Firebird - I had always wanted a Firebird, since the early 70's - Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Allen Collins used one as well as Johnny Winter etc., etc. I have played in local bands since the 70's but only got this guitar a few years ago. The Firebird is my backup axe - I play a "Fat" Strat w/Double locking Floyd Rose as my main guitar so I guess I'm a little spoiled. Still happy I purchased the Firebird - It's white w/gold hardware & really looks great.
