Pickups made sound on arrival, new strings and jammed with a guitar I have wanted a really long time. Fret ends suck. CTS pots......all B500k, these are all tone controls. I wonder if that is why when I turn the volume less than 9, there is no sound. 3 way switch, no blend of pickups. What was with all the "inspired by gibson " hoopla? The guitars shipping was handled by zZounds. That part of it was great. Overall I don't think it lived up to "inspired" at all. The paint and binding are good but the electronic components really need ALOT of work

Out of the box this Firebird impressed. The look was outstanding. The setup(action,intonation) was all spot on.The fretwork was a slightly different story. The frets were level enough, no buzzing or dead spots, no fretting out during big bends or anything like that. The only real issue was the fret ends, it was as though they just nipped them off, beveled them and called it good. They were rough and sharp. An easy enough fix but come on Epiphone, you can do better than that! As zZounds and their staff, they are top notch, knowledgeable and helpful. The pay as you play plans are awesome for the musician that’s on a budget! I would recommend the Epiphone Firebird and zZounds every time!

I eas in the market for a Firebird but did not like the Gibson bird without banjo tuners and the cheap out headstock so I elected for a Epi instead. Now..rather procure a few more VRS a single Gibson.I ordered mine as a Blem and must say..once again as Ive bought Blems before.Their was NOTHING WRONG with this bird.I suspect the original buyer did not like the color and returned it with claiming blemish as the excuse. Nothing was blemished. Ive expirienced this before with Kramers purchest here. The finish is..well pretty much army drab olive green as the color name states.. Looks ready kool and diffrent. It will grow on one even if one dont like the photos and reveiw vids. The set up is good. The fret work is SUPURB. And the fit and funish is top quality surpassing the dredded bankrupt era american Gibsons. And equal to todays. Sounds like a bird should. Little bright. They all were since day one in 1963. The vibratory impeadence is very long and strong even unplugged. Ive allready ordered a blank truss cover. The Orange drop caps work with hi fi quality as the roll off is full ranged. Very pleased. Hey freinds with all respects please stop returning stuff as blems due to other personal reasons. Zzounds dont deserve that.This offering of the new firebird is allmost to good for their own good. So good I shall buy another instead of the Gibson firebird. Buy far the best of the Gibson inspired series. My other guitars are jelouse and wont let this bird rack with just yet. They will adapt. Serouosly. This is a must have . And yes.......The G***** 2020 Firebird truss cover fits exactly if that is a factor to you. Mine shall be blank for other reasons. Enjoy rhis axe and thank you once again zZounds for filling my rack this last year with the best products with time payable payments and a great staff. ~ MOJAMA SIXX

Upon unpacking first thing was the nut was off it. A little super glue and I was in business. Suprise...the fret work wasn't done. Frets were unleveled and the sides were sharp enough to cut your fingers. It had a good sound to not have a good set up, once I get the work done and set up it will be a great guitar. It didn't come with a gig bag so now I have to buy two cases for the two new ones I bought. Well away to do the fret work and set up.
