I would rock the shit out of that guitar. I think it is hot. My only issue is the wonky vibrato. I really like the cool pickup options on this one

 

[shoeless]

Nice, I like it. I don't recall Baxter really being a Firebird guy though, seems like he usually played a strat.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

No.

I like the shape and the colour.
don't care for the controls at all, nor the whammy.

 

[GilmourD]

Considering the engineering work he's done for the government that control scheme is actually pretty simple. LOL

middle pickup failboat.

That's actually a strategic satellite defense grid beacon that Jeff helped develop for DARPA.



Maestro vibrato failboat IMO.

Um...when I just now saw that, my brain started trying to figure out how to finance that.

If that ever goes on blowout, I'm buying it, I love it.

i saw that last night on sweetwater. Kind of dont like the color.

isnt he a strat guy?

 

[Coralkong]

I usually hate Firebirds, but I would take this one for sure.

I like it.

 

[GreatDane]

not my thing at all. i might try it just to see how much of a difference all those toggles make to the sound of the guitar, but that's about it.

I don't have anything against Firebirds, but I frankly prefer the "standard" types better. I also think the copped metallic makes it look cheap.

 

[Peeker]

it does kinda make it look like a kid's toy.
which is probably why I like the colour

 

[Tiltsta]

I always thought of Baxter as a strat guy too. Anyway, I really like the look.

I agree......jeff wasn't a 'bird guy.....modified strats and tele's, and an occasional LP.

I think there's WAY too much going on there (typical Henry J.)

Meh

I like it but Firebirds are not for me. At least the ones Ive played. Id def giver that one a try tho.
