Good deal on e-bay . . .
I needed something other that my 1997 to play everyday so, since I'm tired of the Strat that I built it's 620 time. Love the smooth phat neck. My only dissapontment is the new FG paint job. The older 1997 has a nice golden center, the new paint jobs go to bare wood color.

What could possibly be wrong with playing a Fireglow 1997 every day?

Well, if yours is an ORIGINAL 1997 I can certainly understand why you wouldn't play it daily. Wow. Mine is a re-issue, August 1998.

It does look almost like a Gibson tri-burst, doesn't it?
