I'd say

Cool clip - I haven't heard that song in ages, so thanks for posting the link!
And oh yeah, the guitar in the clip is indeed a nonreverse Gibson Firebird, and more specifically it's a Firebird I, which was made in either 1965 or '66;
Here's one of these cool beasts -

The thing had more of a Jagmaster body shape though, rather than the nonreverse FIrebird I.
Are you sure?
The headstock wasnt Fender though, so maybe it was a Jagmaster with  a Firebird neck?

[StevenO]

No, it's definitely a non-reverse firebird. Perhaps, if anything, it's a copy.

[cmatthes]

It's a legit later mid-60s Firebird.  No doubts here - not a copy.

[StevenO]

Yeah, didn't think it was a copy. My last post was in response to 1946dodge.

Nope, in this picture it's pretty clear:


I don't think Jagmasters existed back then.

I used to have a (somewhat modified) '66 Firebird. Never got along with the thing, which was a shame because it sounded great. I found the neck to be unplayable though:



Edit: Yay, my 1000th post!

Orang Coreng - How did you get that  vidieo capture?

[Orang Goreng]

I just hit the "print screen" button (on PC) and pasted the result in an image editor (normally I'd use photoshop, but I'm at work now and all we have here is the Microsoft Photo Editor that I think comes with Windows). Crop to the right size, save as jpg, and done!

[JazzBlaster]

We do that at work and then change it to someones desktop and hide thier icons.
