History of the Firebird
When the Firebird was first launched in 1963, the guitar was Gibson’s first neck-through-body model. Due to its popularity, the guitar was used my music legends in a variety of different musical genres which include Eric Clapton, Kieth Richards and blues legend Johnny Winter to name a few.
Classic Construction with Modern Improvements
The neck is made with a 9-ply neck-through-body made of Mahogany & Walnut with Mahogany body wings each side. The 9-ply neck provides exceptional tuning stability due to the layers of wood reinforcing eachother.
