I was looking at Gibson RDs quite a bit lately. I just couldn't find one to chase down that did a lot for me at a price I liked. I always liked Firebirds too, but every time I play one, I just can't pull the trigger- tuning never seems to be stable, and the neck always seems a bit on the flexy side too. I like full-sized hums too, both for sound and the flexibility to change them out if I want. And then I remembered...
Well...they're not quite as cool as a Jackson FB, or an ESP ""The Phoenix", but I've pawed a few of these over the years and always really wanted to grab it, but the timing was never right. The timing wasn't right for TWO of these either, but brothers gotta stay together, right? LTD Phoenix Deluxe/1000 series. Mahogany body, maple neck-thru, ebony board and a JB/59 pickup set. Sounds about perfect!
One is waiting for me at FedEx, and the other one should be shipping Monday.
Stoked... :thumbsup:
