i mean like, a dirt cheap clone type thing.
the firebird could be reverse or non reverse, i've just wanted something with one of those three body styles for a long ass time and i realized i'll never really have the money for one, so i figured i'd see if anyone knew of any reliable, cheap clones.

They've also got Agile Ghosts, which look markedly similar but cost in the $400 - $600 range...

Aren't the Epiphone Firebirds sub-$400 new? Or do the Epiphone ones suck?
They also have a $200 Explorer but it just looks... off... and Firebirds are cooler anyway:

I saw a 70's Ibanez firebird at the used section of Guitar Center for ~$200 once. I came back the next day to buy it and it was gone.
