Description

Gibson struggled to respond to Fender’s wild success with solid-body guitars, but the Firebird changed everything. Gibson’s first foray into neck-through construction and “reverse” body styles, the Firebird represented a major stylistic shift, picking up where the failed Flying V, Futura, and Explorer left off, blazing forth fearlessly into new design realms. The USA model features Tobacco Burst and Cherry finishes, classic neck-through-body design with mahogany wings, 9-ply mahogany/walnut neck with Slim Taper profile, one-piece rosewood fingerboard, Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, dual mini-humbucking pickups, chrome hardware set, and all the game-changing style as when the ‘Bird first spread its wings in ’63.
