1998 Gibson Firebird

The Firebird V came about as a re-working of an existing Explorer design by car designer Ray Deitrich and first appeared in 1963. The edges were rounded, and the headstock was fitted with “banjo” style machine heads,  however, more important was the construction; the Firebird is the only Gibson made with a laminated “neck thru” body. The tone is woody and dark which is offset by the bright PAF Mini Humbuckers. This little beauty was made in 1998 and is a bargain at 2250.00 with original case.
