Even with all those amazing Jazzmasters, my eyes still go straight to the Firebirds. :fp:

Those two NRs on the left....

I've never played one, but just from looking at them alone, I feel like I'd really dig playing them.

Yeah, the NR's are basically a JM/Jag wearing a Gibson suit. Except no real strings behind the bridge. Other than that, the feel/contours are very offset-ish. And the FB pickups are brighter and spankier than trad humbuckers or mini humbuckers.

The 24-3/4 scale is my favorite feeling as well, plus I think they win out by a small margin in the looks department (such a clever knob arrangement).
