Product Description
The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Firebird in Vintage Sunburst brings one of Gibson’s most radical 1960s designs within reach, complete with its iconic reverse body and headstock, neck-through construction and searing Firebird tone. With a 9 ply mahogany and walnut neck running the full length of the guitar, ProBucker FB720 pickups and rock solid Grover mini tuners, this Firebird is built for powerful, singing sustain and unmistakable style on stage or in the studio.
Modern refinements such as a comfortable SlimTaper C profile, rolled fingerboard edges, Graph Tech NuBone nut and CTS electronics make this a superbly playable, reliable workhorse that still looks and sounds every bit like the classic it is inspired by. From blues and classic rock to modern indie and alternative, the Inspired by Gibson Firebird delivers that distinctive snap, bite and clarity that cuts through any mix.
Iconic Reverse Firebird Design
The reverse body and headstock shape instantly mark this guitar out as a Firebird, with a sleek, offset silhouette that looks as bold today as it did in 1963. The Vintage Sunburst finish and white pickguard with red Firebird graphic complete the classic aesthetic, making it a real statement piece on stage while still feeling well balanced on a strap.
Neck Through Sustain and Resonance
A traditional 9 ply mahogany and walnut neck through body construction gives this Firebird exceptional sustain and a rich, even response across all strings. With no neck joint to interrupt vibration, notes ring out longer and chords feel more solid and piano like, ideal for soaring leads and big open chords.
SlimTaper Neck and Rolled Fingerboard
The SlimTaper C profile neck, combined with a bound Indian laurel fingerboard and rolled edges, offers a fast, comfortable feel that suits everything from chunky rhythm work to intricate lead lines. Medium jumbo frets and a 12 inch radius make bends smooth and controlled, helping you play longer with less fatigue.
ProBucker FB720 Pickups and Quality Hardware
A pair of ProBucker FB720 pickups capture the hot, articulate voice associated with classic Firebirds, with plenty of bite in the bridge and a singing, vocal quality in the neck. Era appropriate wiring with CTS pots keeps the response smooth and musical, while the Epiphone LockTone Tune O Matic bridge, stop bar tailpiece and Grover mini tuners provide stable tuning and dependable performance.
Features
- Reverse Firebird Body in Vintage Sunburst - The distinctive reverse body and headstock, finished in a classy Vintage Sunburst, deliver unmistakable Firebird attitude. It looks striking under stage lights and stands out in any collection, while the contoured shape remains comfortable whether seated or standing.
- 9 Ply Mahogany and Walnut Neck Through Construction - The neck through design enhances sustain and resonance by allowing string vibration to travel the full length of the instrument. This gives you a thicker, more harmonically rich tone that holds notes effortlessly for expressive bends and singing vibrato.
- ProBucker FB720 Pickups with CTS Pots - Specially voiced ProBucker FB720 pickups deliver the bright, cutting Firebird sound with enough output for rock tones while still cleaning up beautifully. Paired with CTS pots and era appropriate wiring, you get a smooth, responsive control layout that lets you shape your sound precisely from the guitar.
- SlimTaper C Neck with Laurel Fingerboard - The SlimTaper C profile and 12 inch radius laurel fingerboard make fast runs, wide bends and complex chords feel natural and effortless. Rolled fingerboard edges and a Graph Tech NuBone nut add to the smooth feel and help keep tuning stable across aggressive playing styles.
