Gibson Skunk Baxter Firebird

[DustyRhodesJr]

What do you think of this? I dont really think of him when I think
of a Firebird, but this looks pretty neat.

 

[HyakuShiki]

Certainly a different look, but it seems like it could be fun. I'm just glad the Firebird's finally getting some love from Gibson.

 

[your name here]

Weird, but pretty neat looking. The Vibrola and the "modern" switches are an odd juxtaposition.

 

[samdjr74]

I wouldn't mind trying it out. Kind of cool with the new tonal options

 

[flantrax]

I dig it...always been a sucker for a bunch of switches/controls on guitars...

 

[bob-i]

Looks cool, but I'm not a fan of all those switches. I want to be able to quickly get to a setting. Single toggle for me.

Henry leave the bird alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it me or is the maestro too short?

 

[GreenKnight18]

What do the switches by the knobs do? Coil taps?

 

[Dale]

I do not mind switches and toggles if I can figure out what do with them. I love my CP Jag and that has a bunch of them.

 

[goldtone]

Reminds me of a video game controller.

What are the pickups?

From the internet.

The new Gibson Skunk Baxter signature model Firebird features three ultra-hot mini humbuckers, cryogenically treated fret wire, advanced electronics, coil tapping, and much more. — Mitch Gallagher

Those switches... does it have power windows?

Those switches... does it have power windows?

Not on the Firebird, but they come standard on the Trans Am.

 

[PunkKitty]

It needs more switches.

 

[jammybastard]

Comes with Zaxxon pre-installed, other games are available via In-App purchase.

[Nordberg]

It's probably all over his new album!

 

[MKB]

The switching system and pickups probably use technology from his Star Wars research.

" ..cryogenically treated...." WTF ? that passes for a selling point ?
