Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird V Vintage Sunburst

The Gibson 1963 Firebird V in Vintage Sunburst revolutionized electric guitar design with its sleek, offset body and neck-through construction. Crafted with input from automotive designer Ray Dietrich, this iconic model became a favorite for its striking looks and innovative features. The mahogany wings and nine-ply mahogany/walnut neck-through build deliver exceptional sustain, while the bound rosewood fingerboard and trapezoid inlays provide a touch of elegance.

Equipped with vintage-style mini-humbuckers, the Firebird V produces a bright, punchy tone with plenty of bite, perfect for both rhythm and lead work. From its reverse headstock to the period-correct hardware, this Gibson Custom Shop reissue captures the essence of the original, offering a playing experience that is as timeless as its design.
