Frequently Asked Questions

It's likely a '50s style rounded profile, similar to many Les Pauls, but the Firebird's thinner body might make it feel slightly more accessible.
Absolutely, the standard humbucker size allows for easy pickup swaps; it's a common mod for Firebirds.
Ebony is harder than rosewood, but it can still develop wear marks over time, especially with aggressive playing; regular maintenance with a good fretboard conditioner is recommended.
