With the traditional mahogany neck and body construction, the Epiphone Firebird comes in a few different guises with different options from time to time including mini humbucker, full size humbucker and P-90 iterations. Epiphone Firebird is popular with blues players in particular, due to the rich sustain available from the long body and easy playability. Make a statement on stage with an Epiphone Firebird.

Question: What is the Epiphone Firebird sound?

Question: Why is the Epiphone Firebird so famous?

Question: Does the Epiphone Firebird have a set neck or a bolted-on neck?
Neither: the Epiphone Firebird is actually a 'through neck' guitar and that essentially means that the same piece or pieces of wood used for the neck carry through the entire length of the guitar, forming the middle of the body. The body shape is then finished by the addition of two 'wings', glued on pieces of wood that complete the body.
Question: Is the Epiphone Firebird larger than a standard electric guitar?
It is, yes. The Firebird is a few inches taller than a standard electric guitar and so you will have to factor that in when you are shopping for gig bags and cases. At guitarguitar we offer an official Epiphone Firebird hard case and also a Gator Extreme soft gig bag, so you are covered whichever direction you choose to take.
Question: What does a mini humbucker sound like?
Guitar pickups can all sound vastly different depending on the number of winding used in the coil(s) and also which type of magnet is used. Having said that, if you were to complare a medium output Alnico II humbucker with a medium output Alnico II mini humbucker, you'd probably find more treble and bite in the mini humbucker.
