Overview

Classic form and tones from an iconic instrument.

Gibson's classic 1963 design for the Firebird was the first to rock a reverse headstock and body on a neck-thru design. Loaded with unique mini-humbuckers that delivered a brighter and tighter sound than full-size pickups, it brought a distinct look and sound to the expanding world of rock and roll and was quickly adopted by well-known players. The current edition features a 9-ply SlimTaper mahogany/walnut thru-neck that's fast and easy to play while delivering those iconic sounds. Includes hard case.

Features

  • Nitro-finished solid mahogany body wings on neck-thru design
  • 24.75"-scale, 9-ply mahogany/walnut thru-neck, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard
  • Dual Gibson Firebird mini-humbuckers, 3-way switch
