Re: Firebird Binge
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Firebird Binge
I want it, and I thought the burst or whatever one was the one to have.
Given you haven't said I assume it's mahogany but the colour and weight make me think it could be korina(?)
Loverly colour, beautiful.

Something eternally joyous about a beautiful guitar sitting in a velvet case. First time you open it the room fills with purple light and a chorus of angels sing 'Hallelujah'.
Unless it's a PRS. LOL.

It's a reverse Firebird because the longer horn (oo-er) is on the bottom, not the top like most guitars (e.g. Strat). I think.Frey wrote: That sounded intuitive when I read it... but dr. wikipedia says you're wrong:

Mahogany.
The reverse came first.
Thanks all for the comments.
Beeg - it'll keep, and think how fermented the rendang will be. Get well.
