Gibson didn't skimp on quality when they built this Firebird V. From its beautiful mahogany body and super-slim 9-piece mahogany/walnut neck to the rock-solid hardware, this instrument is pro quality through and through.
Gibson's Firebird V is a modern update of the original Gibson model, boasting all the vintage mojo - including a pair of mini humbuckers that give you the bright, bell-like jangle of single-coils, with the midrange complexity and punch you more associate with humbuckers. All, of course, with no noise! The upgraded Steinberger Gearless tuners give you super-stable tuning at every gig. You'll appreciate the way this solidbody electric feels in your hands - it plays like an extension of you rather than a piece of equipment. That's the sign of a great guitar.
The Gibson Firebird V sports a comfortable, fast-action neck with a '60s SlimTaper profile. Early Gibson guitars had huge, bulky necks. By 1960, Gibson had gradually carved down this profile into what became their SlimTaper neck. As your fingers move down this neck, the precisely controlled width-to-thickness ratio of the Firebird's SlimTaper neck provides you with a consistent, fast, and comfortable feel. It's no wonder many life-long guitar players consider the SlimTaper Gibson's finest neck.
It is in excellent condition throughout. There are no major cosmetic issues at all, just a few swirls and fine scratches to the finish. The frets are in great shape. It is all original and there are no breaks, cracks or repairs.
Comes in its Gibson hard case with original documents.
