Overview

Comfortable to play with huge, warm, fat tones that can only come from genuine mahogany.

Since 1963, the Gibson Firebird has been a unique Gibson model, not really in the Les Paul/SG realm, but not really close to the Explorer/V venue either. The Gibson Firebird stands alone as one of the truly unique electric guitars in history.

Johnny Winters weapon of choice for most of his career, the Gibson Firebird has also been featured in arsenals of artists as diverse as Warren Haynes, Gatemouth Brown, Paul Mc Cartney, Allen Collins, Brian Jones and Eric Clapton. Few Non Reverse Firebirds have been offered over the years, those in pristine condition can be sought after and highly prized.

The Gibson USA Non-Reverse Firebird Limited Run will soon be a part of history. The genuine mahogany body joined with a mortise and tenon genuine mahogany neck provide the huge, warm, fat tones that can only come from genuine mahogany.

The '50s rounded profile neck is super comfortable and fast. Sporting a nut width of 1.69 in., a 12" radius to the rosewood fingerboard, and a 24.75" scale length, players will be reminded of the comfortable and playable Gibson neck dimensions from throughout history.

Gibson '57 Classic Plus pickups provide the sweetness to the genuine mahogany tone, Grover mini tuners add tuning excellence and dependability. Coupled with a Gibson hardshell case and the famous Gibson Limited Lifetime warranty, this Limited Edition is worthy of every guitarist's arsenal.
