NUGD: Epiphone Firebird OD Green

I play two Firebirds in time of peace, and two in time of war...
This OD green Firebird came up on CL a little while ago, and the price kept going down, and eventually I offered the seller a little bit under his asking price, and he accepted! Specs-wise, it's all the same as any other recent Epi Firebird, other than the color, which was apparently a ZZounds exclusive. The only thing not to like is that the fret ends are pretty bad. I would have guessed that that was just something about this particular guitar and its life history, but a lot of the Epi OD reviews mention sharp frets. Good thing I have that Stewmac gift certificate lying around! I might also swap out the black pickguard for white or cream and see how that looks.
