Description
What makes this guitar special: This is a super clean an ultimately classic Firebird with excellent tone and playability. The 495 mini-humbuckers sound fantastic in all three positions and provide a good range of tone between the neck and bridge, each with the perfect blend of humbucker body and more single-coil-esque chime. The finish beautifully shows off its 9-piece walnut and mahogany neck and stands as one of the most classic finishes on the market. In addition, it plays beautifully after the setup our techs have given it, and for a used guitar, the whole thing remains incredibly clean, making it an even better deal for the money.
Condition: This guitar is in excellent condition, if not better. It only shows a few small dings and dents and light surface scratches, but otherwise is incredibly clean and still looks near mint. The frets show no wear and still have a full lifetime of playing left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.
Body: Mahogany body in Vintage Sunburst finish. Tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece. Black top hat controls with silver inserts. 3-ply white pickguard.
Neck: Slim mahogany and walnut neck and bound rosewood fingerboard with figured acrylic trapezoid inlays. 1 11/16” nut width. 25.5” scale. Steinberger style tuning machines.
Electronics: 495R mini-humbucker in the neck and 495T mini-humbucker in the bridge. 2 x volume, 2 x tone controls. 3-way pickup selector.
Weight: 7 lbs 10.2 oz
Playability/Sound: The neck plays very easily and will be familiar and comfortable to a wide variety of players, especially those who prefer modern Gibsons.
Case: Includes Gibson gigbag.
