This looks properly excellent. I kind of dig the contrast in the (relative) simplicity of the hardware/electrics and the (relative) complexity of the body/neck/build.

Those Steinberger tuners caught my eye a while back, too. Nice change from regular pegs, and probably a deal more solid than actual Banjo heads.

It looks great  - the colour of the mahogany is really brought out by the finish (or perhaps your camera!).  I had a custom shop Firebird 7 from the 90's with the ebony board and liked it's sound, but sold it to get the Firebird 3.  This looks like it will be a really nice guitar.  Wez strikes again!

CS&N's Wooden Ships is my favourite Firebird song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQAWqT_R5NI).
So many pickups, so little time

this has me very tempted to get a firebird... add a bridge route... stick in a Crawler and whack on a TP-6 Bridge.
kind of like this...


heresy... maybe... but i like it!
question im asking is whether to do it on a real (circa 90's-2000's) firebird or go custom.
im ignoring the epiphones currently available with full size HB's

curses gwEm. such a nice firebird
