Personal Thoughts:
The Firebird VII is the most over-the-top and unique version of the Firebird family. With its triple mini-humbuckers and that glorious Lyre Vibrola, it delivers a fat, focused tone with great bite and clarity—especially when blending the bridge and middle pickups. The Cherry Red finish pops against the gold hardware, and the slim taper neck is lightning quick without feeling too thin. Whether you’re channeling vintage blues, glam rock, or fuzzed-out garage tones, this Firebird delivers.There’s something wonderfully unapologetic about this model. It looks outrageous, plays fast, and has a very focused, articulate attack that cuts through any mix.
Condition Report:
Excellent condition. Light signs of handling, a little natural softening on the gold hardware, but no notable marks or wear. The case is original and clean. Frets are excellent, and setup is dialled in.Part exchange welcome, video demos are available via our YouTube channel at Squealing Pig Guitars, personal consignment service available via our site at 10% rate
