Description

One of the most notable proponents of the Gibson Firebird, blues-rock legend Johnny Winter was well-known for his love of the design. This 1964 Firebird V is based on one of Johnny's beloved Firebirds, recreated with an astonishing level of detail and accuracy, including plugged holes from the removed Maestro Vibrola and the faded Firebird logo on the pickguard, as well as the missing reflector on the rhythm tone knob. It also features a five-piece mahogany/walnut neck-through-body with mahogany wings, a bound Indian rosewood fretboard with trapezoid inlays, two Alnico 5 Firebird pickups, classic "banjo" tuners, and a Murphy Lab custom-aged finish.

    I purchased this guitar and wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived at the store for pick-up. This guitar was unreal looking, sounding and had great playability. I looked over the finish of the guitar it was perfect. This firebird is light in weight and super resonate when unplugged from an amp. I had a fellow musician friend with me when I picked up this guitar and he is a firebird player and was blown away by this guitar. I am very pleased with this purchase and am enjoying playing such a beautiful guitar.
