maple top? I never saw a firebird with a maple top. Even the Orville by Gibson I could play.
They are full accajou, usually 2 pieces body with a long tenon set neck. _________________ nankurunai sa! |

Nice. No maple top..... they're not built like Les Pauls - more like an SG as an example. |

it's a fair price yes.
usually, the Greco Fb-70 sell for that price and they're a lot cheaper (cheaper woods, urethane finish, cheaper tuners). _________________ nankurunai sa! |
