I've seen those before, talk about a kid in a candy store!!!

Yeah, they've been around for a while (obviously, seeing as there are Firebirds in there!)

...um. someone's got some explaining to do. i wonder when these pix were taken, but since it was after the move to corona, it's after the "no gibson shapes" mandate.

note the roundhorn on the rack...

That V looks like Mustaine Y2KV to me.

Looks like 2 firebirds in the rack as well....

Could be from 2001 or earlier. When Kev, others, and myself were there for NAMM 02, they were finishing the last of the 'Birds.

Those are old pictures ..note the old pc1 headstocks in the rack ...IE Pre strathead.. this was taken when they first moved I believe.. note there are no charvel stratheads anywhere to be found

Did that take place on Pre FMIC orders though?

depends on a few things...the last firebird batch was lee's, and aside from ian's robbin replicas, i THINK that the rest of the 13 were trans finishes, but i could be mistaken.

also, if these pix were taken at the corona facility, i'm pretty sure that happened after the last batch (lee's) of 'birds were finished, but again, i'm not too sure.

i did notice what looked like a firebird on the rack with the v, but i think it's a sweetone.

Is that a reverse firebird on the rack neck to the 2 regular firebirds? I sure would like to know the rest of the story with these pics.
