and yes, I know those are not classic Firebird pickups, but that's not an issue for me.

yeah, like 4 years.

If I sell a few of my guitars, as I should, maybe I'll get a Firebird.

Yea I like the color too.

If I found a rendition of a guitar I wanted and not avail elsewhere (like this firebird in this color) I would buy ali, not into Firebirds though.

You can always draw Razzle into a thread with purple guitars!

That’s a cool looking firebird. I’ve never played one but I have played mini hums. Even the overwound mini hums I’ve played have been a little underpowered for me. They are a good mix between full size humbucker and single coil though

Peskypesky, my brother from another mother. You know what I like.
I see P90s. I click "like".
Even though it only has one P90, that's enough for me.

That's got a pretty unique combo of pickups, but the finish on that particular one looks horrendous. Not the color but the wood almost looks warped or like it was waterlogged before they painted it. Or maybe it never made it to the sanding station before the paint booth?
