I own a Gibson Gold Top Les Paul, a Gibson Cherry SG, and an American Fender Strat. I can't believe I'm saying this, but this Firebird blows them all away. I bought it only to have a different voice in the arsenal and didn't want to pay 3 times the money to get a Gibson Bird. Within 5 minutes this became my favorite guitar! Beautiful fit and finish, and perfect setup right out of the box. I don't have to do a thing to it. The CTS pots work perfectly, and the pickups are the real deal. You CANNOT tell the difference between this Epi and a Gibson with regards to looks, feel and sound. So impressed. It is, however, a beastly instrument. I just have to get used to having the weight of a coffee table around my neck. And I will. It's the guitar I pick up now every time I go into the wood shed. Only complaint is that it doesn't come with a case. I'd have gladly paid an extra hundred bucks to have it included.
