kbp810 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Ugh.....what is this a 1920s striptease? Where's the rest of the guitar!? That was a big box.... maybe he's still unpacking the rest of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Bird Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Ugh.....what is this a 1920s striptease? Hahaha......... OK no more holding out. The neck is nice and slim and since I didn't have the fretboard bound it is really wide. I wanted it to look the color of a Redtail hawks feathers. I think they did good. The rest of the story.... and photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitfiddler Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Another masterpiece from the master craftsmen (and woman) at Heritage. Well done. How appropriate. An F-bird for HF Bird. Play it in good health, Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxdx99 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Ron, congratulations! That guitar just gives me shivers up and down my back. What a beautiful, gorgeous, wonderful instrument. I've a new screen background, but can't decide if it's that backside view w/the stinger and long headstock or the close up front body shot. And I see you've incorporated the K'zooRocks accepted photo background. Thanks for sharing your story, from order point to receipt. Wonderful pics and prose (which, of course, is expected from 'da bird). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smurph1 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Wow Ron!! How's she sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCovach Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Beautiful!! I'm not sure I would change anything about that guitar, but I can enthusiastically recommend the Steinberger tuners. I replaced the tuners on my Firebird with those and they were a big-time upgrade. I notice these are now standard on the new Firebirds. The standard tuners you have will be just fine, but the Steinberger tuners tune from behind, like the banjo tuners, so you get that particular "look." Hahaha......... OK no more holding out. The neck is nice and slim and since I didn't have the fretboard bound it is really wide. I wanted it to look the color of a Redtail hawks feathers. I think they did good.

High Flying Bird Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Wow Ron!! How's she sound? I haven't had a chance to plug it in yet. I have been getting soccer photos ready. Tonight I will make the walls bleed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read some reviews that scared me away from them. People complain that the tend to slip on unwound strings. I wished I would have talked to you, but what the heck. It'll do.
