My first exposure to thunderbirds/firebirds are from Phil Manzannera & Roxy Music. His Gold & Cardinal Red Firebird looked so cool to me way back when. I always wanted a bass version of that guitar.


Anyway, it seems Phil has released an LP dedicated to that very guitar titled "Firebird VII"



Just Downloaded it.
