Gibson Custom Shop 1965 Non-Reverse Firebird V w/ Vibrola
Rugged non-reverse version of the Firebird! Completely vintage correct.
If the original Firebird™ turned everything around, this one puts it back in place. This carefully crafted guitar was built in the pure pursuit of authenticity. The solid mahogany body is presented non-reverse. An authentic '65 slim C-profile neck - designed for hours of comfortable playing - is similarly mounted with an unconventional (at least for a Firebird) upright headstock. The fingerboard is made of silky Indian rosewood that invites light licks and on the body double Firebird Alnico 5 mini-humbuckers™ punch with their ferocious bite and warm sound expression. Equipped with a Maestro™ Vibrola, gold Top Hats and slightly aged nickel hardware, this guitar blends historic authenticity with offbeat design.
