PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Authentic 1963 Firebird construction This reissue follows the original Firebird I blueprint closely centred around a nine-ply mahogany and walnut neck-through-body design. The neck-through construction enhances sustain and note definition while giving the guitar its distinctive feel and response. Mahogany body wings are attached to either side of the neck core preserving the tonal character and visual style that made the Firebird such a radical departure from traditional solid body designs when it first appeared in 1963. Vintage inspired neck and playability The 1963 Firebird neck profile offers a comfortable period-correct feel that suits both rhythm and lead playing. A rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets provides a smooth playing surface while mother-of-pearl dot inlays keep the look clean and understated. A Graph Tech nut supports stable tuning and consistent string response while the 24.75 inch scale length delivers a familiar Gibson-style feel with slightly looser string tension and a warm tonal character. Classic Firebird electronics Staying true to the original Firebird I&rsquo
- s minimalist design this reissue is fitted with a single Gibson USA Firebird mini humbucker in the bridge position. Powered by Alnico 5 magnets the pickup delivers a focused cutting tone with plenty of bite and clarity making it ideal for blues classic rock and expressive lead work. The simple master volume and master tone controls are hand-wired using CTS potentiometers and a Mallory capacitor for reliable vintage-style performance. Period correct hardware and details Hardware choices remain faithful to the original specification including a wraparound Lightning Bar bridge that enhances sustain and keeps things simple and resonant. Kluson banjo-style planetary tuners provide the unmistakable Firebird look while offering smooth reliable tuning stability. Nickel hardware completes the vintage aesthetic and the guitar ships in an Inspired by Gibson Custom hardshell case ensuring safe transport and storage for this historically accurate reissue.
