I've played and Ebony and it's like a Fender XII on steroids. Michael, retreat to your gramma's basement.

Gibson guitars cost a lot of money....Too much? It's a personal thing.... It's taken me almost two years to get the money up for my Jackson Browne acoustic.

Save your money till you have enough, or buy an Epiphone...

on 09/20/2012 		I would also like to see Gibson come out with a 12-String Firebird Model- Perfect tone for a 12 String set-up. Oh, while you're at it, can you make mine Left-Handed, please ?

on 09/20/2012 		Just another example of the lack of creativity in modern-day, corporate guitar. If we continue to support the bad behavior of these (so called) icons of the music industry by giving them our money without questioning whether or not they have our best interest at heart or theirs, they will continue to disappoint.
