I'm glad. i have made a few firebirds before but this was the first aiming for the traditional look and design. obviously it has some wezisms (feel like a c--k for descriping my build priciples in that way, but it seems to fit) in there but nothing much that would take it away from the gibson recipe in a major way.
The heel is a bit smoother and more contoured, but wont affect tone in any discernable way. Other than that its petty much gibson staple with well chosen light mahogany and deeper bevels on the headstock... dont think i changed much else on this other than some caron fibre to ensure the neck stays stable and the ebony for the fretboard (knowing it would suit gwem better than the usual alternatives)
i do have a moderne replica on my mind tonight, but that will follow from a bowable fretless corvus shaped bass and other silly projects i have planned for myself. Iceman with some kind of metal front/scratch plate is next on the list (and after that maybe a fireman - maybe a year or so away though)
