Overview

Gibson's heartfelt tribute to a true blues master, and his most beloved instrument.

There have been few guitarists able to interpret classic blues and blues rock with the mastery and expressiveness of legend Johnny Winter. Since the late 1960s, Winter has been cranking out some of the meanest and most spellbinding slide guitar ever recorded, and performing live, he can still blast searing, gut-wrenching blues without even breaking a sweat. For decades, Winter has relied on one guitar--a 1963 Gibson Firebird V. The Gibson Custom Shop Johnny Winter Signature Firebird V is a painstaking re-creation of this iconic electric guitar down to every last detail and feature. Nothing has been overlooked on the Gibson Firebird.

The Custom Shop difference


Passion.

It burns in the heart of every player who purchases a Gibson Custom Shop guitar... and it burns in the heart of every employee who helps build these world-class instruments. Gibson vows to continue infusing every instrument that passes through their doors with that same passion. From initial wood selection to final assembly, they sweat the details so that when you pick up your guitar, your dream, it exceeds every expectation you could possibly have. Pick one up for yourself. Feel the passion Gibson puts into their guitars and release yours.
