I would say the sound of the zebrawood is 90 percent or better to the original magnetic mini humbuckers.Feature:I like the detail Gibson has given on this bird to the originals. Top hat knobs are same as originals. All the hardware is authentic except for chrome pickups and bridge compared to nickel on the originals but a small matter on a work horse guitar like thisEase of Use:Guitar is a smoker, very easy to play, even easier than the original birds because of the oiled neck with no varnish. A very fast neck with a precision for the fastest of lead playersQuality:Quality is supreme on this instrument. Better than the original firebirds. Destined to be one of the modern classicsValue:This firebird is worth more than its selling price. It will show in the future that the selling price was very small compared to what this limited edition of 400 will be selling for ten years from now. It is one of the first unique firebirds made by gibson in years. It is not just another knock off of the originals.Manufacturer Support:Don't really know, nothing has gone wrong with the guitarThe Wow Factor:Sex appeal is tops. It is a real attention getter and a great playing guitar to bootOverall:I play professionally and have been doing so since the firebird first came out in 63. I expect I'll be playing this bird along with my other firebirds. Doubt that I would buy other models. It's always been firebirds for me.
