FOR SALE or TRADE: Custom-made Warmoth Firebird. Alpine white.
Well, as much as I hate to see it go, I'm hoping that my custom-made white Warmoth Firebird will find it's way to a new owner who will rock it more than I can. Super-killer axe. Beefy mahogany body, super fat tone - but with the clarity and bite of the maple/ebony fretboard. Loaded with two Suhr open-coil humbuckers, this thing has it all; clarity and fatness.
The neck is finished it a very smooth, satin poly finish. Super comfortable Warmoth Standard Thin shape. Compound radius 10-16", and a 1 11/16" nut. 6150 frets that have had the ends nicely dressed and gently rounded on the ends, giving a smooth feel going up and down the neck - no jagged edges.
My goal when building it was to make a Firebird that looked better, and played better than an actual Gibson. Faster neck, hotter pickups - and in my opinion, I succeeded. Bottom line: this is a Firebird for people who hate Gibsons. :lol:
:rock:
