Gibson Firebird Platypus Tobacco Sunburst
The Gibson Firebird Platypus Tobacco Sunburst represents a unique chapter in Firebird history, celebrating the transitional design that emerged in early 1965. Its standout feature is the flat "Platypus" headstock, a departure from the layered, Reverse-style design of earlier models, paired with six in-line tuners for a sleek, distinctive look. The Tobacco Sunburst finish accentuates its striking aesthetics, making it a collector's gem and a player's delight.
Equipped with articulate mini-humbucker pickups, the Platypus Firebird delivers a tonal range as versatile as its design is iconic. These pickups shine when pushed, slicing through a mix with clarity, yet provide a semi-hollowbody-like chime when dialed back. With its historical significance, unparalleled style, and unique sonic characteristics, the Gibson Firebird Platypus offers players a rare blend of visual and tonal distinction.
