I'm a fan of the LTD Phoenix, as far as firebird types go.

LTD is probably best bang for the buck.

I really like the look of these too, they come in other colors if you don't like the spalted.

Thats a good point! Kinda a big deal to a lot of people. I have two DBZ V's though and they are both super light and well balanced.

This is totally not my usual aesthetic preference, but I would rock the shit out of that guitar.

OH MAN the bass version looks sweet, too.
