New Bird

I just recieved this from Robert Witte It's J0758, the first ever Jackson Firebird, built for and used regularly by Robbin Crosby (RIP). Robert had the guitar restored by GMW as the previous owner had a recess cut for the trem and then got it resprayed black
GMW did a great job (as usual) and from looking it over, the only way to know it's been restored is that it's in amazingly good condition for a 22 year old guitar I normally prefer the clean, no scratchplate look, so I've taken pics of it in both states....

I typically like guitars with out the gaurds too. That one looks great both ways though!

Looks like a great neck for both the guitars, but I really don't like the shape...I prefer the Gibson original one

Damn Neilli, GREAT SCORE!!!!!!! I remember seeing a picture of Robbin with that guitar in a magazine back in the day!!

Congrats on a Holy Grail guitar!

Congrats! I am Jealous. I always call that one Robbin. Take care of that one. That was awesome of Robert to sell it to you. Hey. Can we see some more pics? That is the one that got me hooked on Jacksons...

Good luck with Robbin!

Congrats, bro! Looks good with and without the guard. A bird like this is definitely high on my Holy Grail list.

Sure - what pics d'you want? Don't forget that Robbin had two red Firebirds though - the other has a clear coated back and a reverse head....

The Bird with the reverse headstock is named "Redface"... And yes, I was very sunburned and drunk in the picture!!
