The 64 Firebird VII was always my dream guitar ever since I saw Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones play one on The Ed Sullivan Show,I thought it was absolutely beautiful and still do.Back in the mid 70s I could have a near mint reverse Firebird Vii for $400 foolishly I didn't buy it,I've been kicking myself ever since.I now have a Epiphone Firebird V,it's sweet but not the same,if I ever win a lottery my first purchase will be an original reverse Firebird VII.
