Gibson Firebird V Review

History: I've been playing guitar and other stinged instruments for well over 40 years. I got 'em all fenders, gibsons, rickys, marshall and on and on., As well as effects up the yin yang. Been in bands and performed as a solo performing artist for all my years. Musical Tastes, all vintage rock and roll.

Purchase: After a lot of hours thinking and planning i gave in and ordered a FirebirdV Was hoping gibson could match their longstanding reputation for quality and tone. Paid $1685 and was not let down.

What I Like About This Unit: After about a week on a ups delivery plan (5 day ground) in February suspicions rose about cold weather effects for that kind of time enroute and shipping to Maine but arrived and without waiting it was opened and the played. For a couple of minutes there was a little sting buzz but shortly dissapeared. I'll tell ya, what a piece of art and craftsmanship. Perfect tone and construction and looks. What a guitar. A good choice, Absoustely perfect!

What I Do NOT Like About The Gibson Firebird V: Was counting on a tan /purple/shroud gibson case. instead got a black/no shroud/lizard case, WTF!!! oh well its just a case. Had to return the first case because it didn't fit thed bird as expected, but MF made good and replaced it no problem.

Firebird V Quality: Of the highest quality.. Impressive stock from a mail order catolog. X-treme!! Nice!!

Summary: If you want a guitar with a special sound, look, feel and simply a dynamic instrument. BUY A GIBSON FIREBIRD V You wno't be dissapointed!! I wasn't!!
