Gibson Firebird V Guitar Review :: Electric Guitars Reviews
faithfully reproduces the neck-through-body construction that made the originals legendary.
The original radical rocker! With its “reverse” body style, Gibson’s Firebird series of 1963 took conventional guitar design on a 180-degree turn.
The epitome of functionality and style, the Gibson Firebird V Electric Guitar features classic offset body styling and a nine-ply neck-through-body design for maximum strength and solid attack. The body of these musical instruments is 9-ply mahogany/walnut with mahogany wings, bound rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlay, high-output mini humbuckers at the bridge and neck, 2 volume and 2 tone controls, a 3-way switch, and chrome hardware. Includes Gibson hardshell case. Today’s Gibson Firebird V faithfully reproduces the neck-through-body construction that made the originals legendary.
