![]() ![]() The Epiphone Firebird's neck thickness is approximately 0.82'' (20.8mm) at the first fret, and 0.92'' (23.4mm) at the twelfth. This is a highly subjective thing, but most players indeed prefer certain types of necks (like Cs and Ds) because they feel nice in most hands. Every difference will completely change the feeling and comfortability of the neck. The neck profile tells you the thickness (neck depth) and shape in cross section. Neck Profile Epiphone Firebird's neck profile A lighter gauge will make it easier to perform bends, vibratos and will also give you a brighter tone. Still, remember that you string gauge plays an important part in all of this. A shorter scale will give less room for the harmonics, thus resulting in a warmer, more 'bassy' tone. This scale length also allows for easier bends and vibratos because the strings will have lower tension due to the shorter scale.įinally, another thing affected by scale length is tone. If you got really small hands, you probably will feel more comfortable playing this guitar than a Fender Stratocaster. It's a lot shorter than the typical Stratocaster (25.5'')Īs you can see from the picture above, a shorter scale length also means shorter separation between frets. If you like the playability of a Gibson, this guitar will feel pretty similar. This is the scale length used in most Gibson guitars. ![]() Here's the Epiphone Firebird's 24.75" scale length compared to other common sizes: Epiphone Firebird's scale length (at the top) compared to other popular sizes A longer scale length means longer distance between frets, brighter tone and more string tension-which means lower action, but more difficult bending of the strings. It can tell you a lot about the overall playability and tone of the instrument. Available in Inverness Green, Faded Pelham Blue, and Sparkling Burgundy, a hardshell case is included.Scale length is the distance the strings will span between the bridge and the nut. A 3-point adjustable bridge provides a full range of adjustment for action and intonation, while Hipshot® Ultralite® tuning machines hold down the strings at the other end and deliver accurate and stable tuning while keeping headstock weight low to improve balance. The Non-Reverse Thunderbird is equipped with a Graph Tech® nut. The three-ply white pickguard features the iconic Thunderbird graphic. A master tone control rounds out the simple yet highly effective control layout. ![]() Equipped with a Non-Reverse mahogany body and mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard and 20 medium jumbo frets, each of the two Thunderbird pickups has a volume control, allowing you to use them separately, or to blend them in any amount you prefer.
