Get a nice leather backed non-slippery strap. That'll keep it hanging where you put it!

Firebird VII

I think this is the one with the 3 mini-humbuckers and the Vibrola. This guitar has the normal 3-way switch and dual volumes and tones.

Does anyone know how the switch and controls work since there are 3 pickups?

I had a '64 VII. Like all other Gibsons, up was for the neck only and down was for the bridge only. The middle position delivered the middle/bridge combo and sounded very Stratlike! :dude

I love FB's and Flying V's because they are the only guitars that don't look like navel ornaments on the Cookieman. I have a 76 RI FB V and just love it, great tones and a nice big neck.

Best Blues,

put the strap button behind the neck, like others say, the balance will alter greatly. Be careful who you let play it!
