NORM SOLD ME that same model guitar in 1978. I was 16yrs old I rode my skate to he original shop on Tampa and bought it for $450. After looking at all the ones I couldn't afford, Norm showed me the Firebird. It was all the money that I had saved to buy my first car. My pop was gonna match me to get a car. When Norm saw I was bout to carry it while skateboarding, he gave me a case like that one for free. But it was for a reverse that he modified on the spot. I still have the guitar and case. But more beat and modified. And I've since lost the vibrolo bar but have all the other original pieces. And one of the P90 went bad and I put a Seymour Duncan humbucker in the tail position . Bless Norm for giving that skinny black kid on a skateboard the chance to own his first real guitar in doing something him on course for a life of music. Thanks Norm!

@TorToroPorco 3 жыл бұрын

What a gorgeous patina on the wood. I could see why Lemmo took a liking to it since it’s sort of an offset body. But my favourite bits on the guitar are the knobs. They remind me of the knobs that were on a late 50s vintage clock radio that my dad had. It was such a cool looking thing with its retro dials and Bakelite exterior. And it had an outlet that you could plug a coffee pot into so you would have fresh java shortly after you woke up.

Great ! Amp LOVES this axe. The Brian Jones/Paul Chapman axe for me. Funny that the story was the reverse Firebird was sued by Fender and Gibson made this which was way more F type. Lately, stories say the law suit didn't happen. Maybe a cease and desist ? Loved "On Fire". Mike lit it up. again, story was Eddie improvised this solo in one take. DLR Yowl fit., Early GP interview. When old demos turned up here and found it was worked up, 'Why am I not Surprised ??" Greatness.

That guitar is a beast. If Gibson put that out with the P90 at the neck and an A2 humbucker at the bridge, put a better bridge or trem unit on it , made it from Basswood or similar to get it priced below $1;500 they would sell millions of them. But Gibson has no vision anymore.
