I got my white firebird pro from justin at JC's Guitars the other day. It is fantastic. the neck is really fat. i'm going to call kevin easton and see if he has any 22 fret jackson necks left so i can change it. if not i'll just keep it the same, it feels pretty good. my FB had chrome gibson-looking humbuckers, but i switched them to zebra dimarzio paf pro's.
i love the way it balances (mine isn't neck heavy, and it's cool to have a vintage shaped guitar with all the hotrod features. i also really like the fact that the top arches a little bit...makes it really comfortable to play (the belly cut doesn't hurt either).
my friend has a real gibson firebird from the early 70's and he said that the jackson's body looks smaller to him. is the FB really like a "dinky firebird"? we going to get together this weekend and compare the two.
the quality of this guitar is fantastic. i don't like any of the current "pro" models, they seem kinda tinny to me. this is my second import, i sold my DXMG about a month after i got it because it didn't feel solid enough for me. this FB feels and sounds real solid. it looks solid. man, i am so happy. now if i could find a collen archtop pro, i'd be in heaven...but i think i'll have to go custom shop (but that's another thread).
oh yeah, i know the picture rule, but i haven't put the guitar down long enough to take pictures. i'll try to get some up later.

I also have a fully bound Dinky USA neck with ebony board and sharks I haven't tried yet. You're right, the stock neck is a thick beast, I couldn't adapt so now it's totally playable. The stock pickups kick butt, as does that tremolo too!
