Gibson Johnny Winter Firebird Electric Guitar Reviews
10 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"Get a piece of rock and roll history before they are all gone."
Feature:
This guitar is a masterpiece. It looks just like the one Johnny plays. They are not going to make any more of these. Not more than 125 made. This is an amazing piece of art. For me I'll play my other Firebird this one is for hanging on the wall and looking at. Watch him play the inspired version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsB6lbFvhuo
Quality:
Everything it is billed to be and more. Johnny has signed the certificate of authenticity. It is really a wonderful piece.
Value:
Bought an MSRP 12k guitar for 5k, sounds like a value to me. I have not got a Gibson or Fender that has not held it's value or most often gone up in value. Elated with my purchase. Probably a better investment than gold.
Desirability:
Amazing distressing...
Sound:
Not played, just hung on the wall
Ease of Use:
It is just beautiful!
Support:
Gibson is great. I have several Gibson guitars and I have been to the repair shop in Nashville. The guys are great and do great work. Stop in and talk with the guys working on the bench and if you are lucky they will take you to the jam room and crank out some tunes. They will do all they can to help you. ZZound is great a their support too. Your "Johnny" will cam expertly set up from ZZ.
Overall:
I just like looking at it.

"It's a piece"
Feature:
All the basics. I can't believe I spent my life savings on this.
Quality:
I heard rattling inside, so I took it apart - and everything fell out. Terribly built. I can't believe I spent my life savings on this.
Value:
I can't believe I spent my life savings on this.
Desirability:
I wouldn't buy this if I were you. I really wanted it, but man - I can't believe I spent my life savings on this.
Sound:
This guitar is very tinny, and sounds like some cheap girl guitar. I can't believe I spent my life savings on this.
Ease of Use:
Very hard to use, I had to use pliers to put in the patch cord. It was terrible. The strings also hurt my fingers. I can't believe I spent my life savings on this.
Support:
I called but they never picked up. I can't believe I spent my life savings on this.
Overall:
This is a great purchase, and I would recommend this guitar to anyone. Great everything - this was worth every penny!
