Epiphone 1963 Firebird V Electric Guitar - Frost Blue

Epiphone 1963 Firebird V Electric Guitar - Frost Blue

Swooping in from the early 1960s, Epiphone’s 1963 Firebird V marks a spot-on tribute to Gibson’s iconic Firebird V in all its vintage glory. This guitar’s premium 9-piece laminate mahogany/walnut neck-through construction and mahogany wings perfectly re-create the Firebird V as it was imagined by automobile icon Ray Dietrich in Gibson’s golden age, supplying superb sustain to rival (or even exceed) any of Gibson’s classic set-neck models. Dual Firebird pickups split the difference between humbucker weight and single-coil sparkle, while the Maestro Vibrola tailpiece enables surfy shimmer and expressive vibrato. It’s all finished off with all of the Firebird V’s historic quirks, including a stepped headstock, phoenix-adorned pickguard, and banjo-style planetary tuners from Kluson. A masterful re-creation of arguably Gibson’s most idiosyncratic instrument of the 1960s, the Epiphone 1963 Firebird V is a must-have for Firebird fans of all persuasions.
