Epi Bonamassa Firebird I on the way.

[Paul G.]

Pre-ordered it in September, just got notified it's shipping. Hopefully gets here Friday.

I love Firebirds, but the only Firebird Is on the market are custom shop or vintage and out of my price range.

Until now.

I'm jazzed.

As you can tell, Lover of The Bird.

I'm hoping to sell off some gear to get one after they're out. It's a true RI.

Congrats & don't skimp on pics.

Very cool Paul! A one pickup guitar tends to inspire ideas and playing creativity simply because so many options are removed.

 

[Paul G.]

Many fear to tread in the land of Esquires, Juniors and Ones.

Not me!!

Most definitely, after all my years of playing, single pickups guitars are still my favorite, IMO they make you work at getting your sound and the simplicity embellishes the tonal response.
