I couldn't agree more. I think the Firebird headstock is the biggest part of the appeal. I like the body but I love the headstock.
I was a bit surprised to see how the Steinbergers worked once I got them. Since the tuning action is accomplished by pulling the string through the headstock versus the common winding around a peg, there doesn't seem to be much room for detuning. I can't wait to get to find out for myself !
You're a Mule fan ? Excellent ! Warren and the boys put on a heck of a show !! For my money Warren and Derek Trucks are the best fiddle players out there today. My wife can't understand why I'd want to see the same band as often as I see Gov't Mule. Different setlist every night, frequent guest appearances, spending a good three hours smiling from ear to ear........duh, it's a no brainer.
