[Motorik]

I like that a hell of a lot.

 

[Aahzz]

It just misses for me...I want to like it. It's not bad.

 

[Knox in Box]

I've never like non-reverse Firebirds and this one seems "off" on top of the Gumby aesthetic.

 

[LeftyTom]

Seems like a lot of wasted space behind the tailpiece.

 

[Jbird]

I've seen worse. Like, every day in GPOTD

 

[Monson]

I'd probably like sound of those the pickups, but the guitar is just not my thing.

 

[Chicken Man]

Nothing wrong with that, but I don't get on with Gibson style electrics.

 

[DinoMikeSr]

If you use that bridge with that big a body you have to figure out how to not make it look crooked. Screws it all up for me.

 

[Tig]

The wraparound bridge and the knobs can be replaced.

 

[Guitar Heel]

I love this.

 

[jelloman]

OH...MY...

 

[dodgechargerfan]

Yeah, it seems a little “off” but I still like it.

 

[Lerxst]

Not the bird I'm looking for

 

[ugameus]

it's visually screwing with me, the large amount of body behind the bridge and the full size humbuckers, I think my brain wants mini buckers or a non-wrap around bridge and probably both before I pickup it up to hear what it sounds like.

 

[Denverdave]

I really want to like that, but that is the wrong bridge/saddle for that body style.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Missed it by thaaaaat much…

 

[DFB]

Meh.

 

[PunkKitty]

I like it. Price isn't too bad either.

That huge body has room for four knobs, bigger knobs that don’t look like they came from a practice amp, and a real TOM bridge and tailpiece. Hell, put on a Bigsby, there’s plenty of room.
