The Firebird Gets a Hardware Upgrade!
The original Gibson Firebird has attained near-legendary status and has been a favorite of blues-inspired guitarists since its birth in 1963. Not much has changed in the past nearly five decades, but the Firebird has been upgraded to include Steinberger Gearless tuners for superb tuning stability. Everything else that made the Firebird a classic is here in the Firebird neck-thru construction with a walnut/mahogany wood combination, a pair of hot mini humbuckers, and the slick reverse body style that makes the Firebird so instantly recognizable.Gibson Firebird Solidbody Electric Guitar Features at a Glance:
