Reversed Mahogany Body Provides Striking Looks and Resonance

The Epiphone Firebird's reversed mahogany body turns heads with its distinctive shape and gorgeous Vintage Sunburst finish. Mahogany provides warmth, depth and resonance, allowing the Firebird to produce a rich, sustaining tone. Its semi-hollowbody construction reduces weight while enhancing resonance for an acoustic-like sound and feel. The Firebird's reversed body moves the treble side of the guitar forward, balancing the instrument for a comfortable playing experience.

Epiphone ProBucker Pickups Deliver Powerful, Articulate Tone

Two Epiphone ProBucker humbucking pickups provide the Epiphone Firebird with a hot, articulate voice perfect for rock, blues and classic rock. The neck ProBucker has an airy, bright tone for articulate leads and rhythm playing. The bridge ProBucker produces a punchy, growling tone ideal for solos, power chords and hard rock. Together, these pickups provide a wide range of tones, from warm and smooth to aggressive and snarling.

SlimTaper C Neck and 22-Fret Laurel Fretboard Enable Fast Playing

The Epiphone Firebird features a smooth-playing SlimTaper C profile neck made from mahogany and walnut. Its slim, rounded shape provides comfort and speed, allowing intricate solos and rapid chord changes. The Firebird's 22-fret Indian laurel fretboard has a 12" radius and trapezoid inlays for an authentic vintage feel. Combined with its low-action setup, the Epiphone Firebird's neck and fretboard facilitate fast, articulate playing across the fretboard.

Premium Hardware and Electronics Provide Exceptional Performance

The Epiphone Firebird includes premium hardware and electronics for enhanced playability and tone. It features Grover 18:1 ratio mini tuners for quick, accurate tuning; a Graph Tech nut for correct intonation; and CTS potentiometers for smooth volume and tone control. A stopbar tailpiece and tune-o-matic bridge provide stable intonation and sustain. The Epiphone Firebird's premium components highlight its exceptional quality and value.
