The Firebird Platypus blends classic Firebird attitude with a slightly different visual identity thanks to the flat “Platypus” headstock design, while still delivering the unmistakable chime, bite, and presence that make Firebirds so appealing. Finished in Ebony, this one has a sleek, aggressive look and a very clean overall presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"629\" data-end=\"638\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"640\" data-end=\"855\"\u003eThis guitar is in excellent condition and I would rate it a solid 9\/10.

It gives the guitar a very distinctive look while also offering straighter string pull, which can help with tuning stability. It is a fun and historically interesting detail that sets this Firebird apart from the more common reverse-body versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2306\"\u003eThe dual Firebird mini humbuckers are also a big part of the appeal. They deliver the bright, focused, chimey response these guitars are known for, with enough bite and authority to handle everything from clean rhythm work to bluesy leads and more aggressive rock tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2308\" data-end=\"2319\"\u003eTone \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2321\" data-end=\"2585\"\u003eThis guitar has the crisp, articulate, and slightly aggressive response that makes a good Firebird so distinctive. The mini humbuckers offer excellent clarity and attack, with plenty of upper-mid presence and note separation, while still retaining warmth and body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2587\" data-end=\"2819\"\u003eThe SlimTaper neck feels comfortable and easy in the hand, and at 8 lbs 4 oz, the guitar has a nicely balanced feel with enough weight to feel substantial without being too heavy. It is a very easy guitar to connect with right away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2821\" data-end=\"2842\"\u003eTransparency \u0026amp; Photos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2844\" data-end=\"3211\"\u003eAs with all Guitar Chimp listings, detailed photos are provided of the actual instrument.
