Product Review
"Such a Great Sound for so little in Price Beutiful Look and Big Sustain"
Feature:
Obviously at the outrageously low price point, there is things that they compromised on in order to give it the ultra accessible price. But, you get some small tools to keep her all tight. And your basic throw away cable. But you also get the fantastic Steinberger tuning heads that are easy to use, and keep this tonal monster consistantly in tune. I think that the Steinbergers look way cooler and fit the case better than the tuning heads on the Gibson "real" variation. I think that you would be hard pressed to find a better guitar for the price. And many of the professional guitar mag reviews that led me to my purchase agree. (Most give this guitar 4.5 to 5 out 5 stars)
Quality:
For this guitar being made in Korea, you wouldn't be able to tell of any inconsistancies. I looked and looked for any problems with the neck, frets, the neck joint, headstock, and hardware set up. It's all flawless! The Mahogany body and rosewood fret board are beautiful! The sustain is fantastic. The set up out of the box is really good! No fret buzz anywhere, and the action is nuetral. Just like I like it. Pretty perfect! Although I'm sure that you can find better on a guitar that is five times the price or more.
Value:
I challenge anyone to find a better guitar for the price. And I don't care that you are a metalhead, if you're a guitar player, you should know a great guitar, and can appreciate it's sound no matter what the look or specialty is whether you play only powerchords or jazz arppegios we can appreciate a great guitar guys.
Desirability:
She is aesthetically pleasing! Even beautiful! The finish is gorgeous, and ultra smooth to the touch. And the headstock with it's unique steinbergers looks elitist and modernises a true classic. This Firebird is stunning and makes the Gibson model look pretty standard. But I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some will disagree with me.
Sound:
Three distictively different tonal qualities from the three different pick up selections. The bridge humbucker has a bit more of a muddier crunch when pushed through more gain, but retains a cool bluesy tone when the gain is cleaned up. ( I've been playing it through an Orange Tiny Terror, and Orange 2x12 cab.) The neck humbucker is a-lot more bright and warm, obviously adjustable from the tone control. The central pick-up/ combination setting is where I find that the depth and tonal potential is at it's greatest. Turn the gain up here, and shred through your pentatonics to satisfy your aggressive cravings. Or turn down the Tone pots to half way and clean up the gain to find some sweet cool, darker blues tones. I mainly play Indie rock, and tonally it covers my sound perfectly. I also play a Gibson Les Paul Voodoo, and a Schecter Ultracure. Each has a very distinctive tonal quality, but each is beautiful in it's own right. I'd say the Epi Firebird is by far the best bang for the buck.
Ease of Use:
It's pretty fool proof, it's set up is done in America,and actually seems better than my Les Paul that was born and set up in Nashville. Plus the Steinberger heads are insanely easy and fully functional. The alnico 57' replica pick ups sound like a much more expensive magnet. I still can't get over how good this sounds at this insanely low price.
Support:
No need for support as of yet. But what company truly gives you great support? You're always responsible for anything wrong with the guitar once you own it. And I've owned many.
Overall:
Read above. But This is the right choice for many guitarists who want flexibility, tonal insanity, and overall great build and value. Plus it looks really cool, and breaks away from the typical Les Paul, SG, Strat, Tele look that so many of us only know as quality.
