Funky Chicken Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 There is room for a BIG "2" to be stamped on that headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchee Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Looks like a Henry J.-era abomination. Did he give the go-ahead on this guitar before or after the Firebird X? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was after designs for a Firebird V and W didn't pan out and Henry thought, "Man, I just don't have it anymore." That's when the above was born. Henry realized he was just as good as he always was, and feeling inspired, completed the Firebird X plans in 3 minutes on a napkin at Applebee's.

joshoowah Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 So... we hear about "vintage-correct" features, like the long-tenon neck joint... is this a long or short tenon (I'm guessing short since the body's so small), and what about neck pitch and headstock angle? Plenty of room to add some biscuits for reinforcement if it falls off the stand, I guess... 🤣🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
