Product Description

Once again, the Gibson Custom Shop & Epiphone have teamed up to create the “Inspired by Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird I”. This guitar is an authentic replica of the guitar designed by the legendary automotive designer Ray Dietrich.

Key Features

  • Wraparound Lightning Bar Bridge – A truly resonant instrument with the strings wrapped around the bridge, makes the strings deliver resonant tonal quality!
  • 9-Ply Neck – With 9 Layers of Mahogany & Walnut combined, you can be sure that the neck is really stable which gives an exceptional tuning stability.
  • Neck-Through Design – The wood used for the neck also runs through the guitar body which gives the guitar a memorable resonance.
  • Hardcase Included – A hardcase is included to protect this stunning guitar.

History of the Firebird

When the Firebird was first launched in 1963, the guitar was Gibson’s first neck-through-body model. Due to its popularity, the guitar was used my music legends in a variety of different musical genres which include Eric Clapton, Kieth Richards and blues legend Johnny Winter to name a few.

Classic Construction with Modern Improvements

The neck is made with a 9-ply neck-through-body made of Mahogany & Walnut with Mahogany body wings each side. The 9-ply neck provides exceptional tuning stability due to the layers of wood reinforcing eachother.

The Kluson planetary geared “Banjo” tuners anchor the strings at the headstock and for the bridge, a wraparound lightning bar holds things down and ensures that you get exceptional sustain.
