Mark Agnesi Talks About The Firebird

Gibson

collapse expand iconDescription

Gibson's classic 1963 design for the Firebird was the first to rock a reverse headstock and body on a neck-thru design. Loaded with unique mini-humbuckers that delivered a brighter and tighter sound than full-size pickups, it brought a distinct look and sound to the expanding world of rock and roll and was quickly adopted by well-known players. The current edition features a 9-ply SlimTaper mahogany/walnut thru-neck that's fast and easy to play while delivering those iconic sounds. Includes hard case.
