Comment by AGP # on May 29, 2020 at 2:29pm: "Thanks Rob Uker", a genuine Gibson Firebird is also on my Bucket List, just have to wait until I win Lotto, before I can purchase one :-D

Comment by AGP # on May 29, 2020 at 2:27pm: "Thanks Andries", a Firebird has always been on my "Builds To Do List", but was prompted to be done sooner than later, thanks to Korrigan's recent beautiful 6 string "Sheila" build, and like yourself, am a huge fan of the late Albino Texan. :-)

Comment by AGP # on May 29, 2020 at 2:19pm: Thanks Jerry & "UJ', Glad you both approve! :-) :-)
