Amazing condition 1968 Gibson Firebird 1. I could not quite believe this when I first saw the condition. Apart from a minor ding here and there, it could pass for a modern day custom shop version. The tuners have been upgraded, but the originals are in the case. Comes with the original Gibson Firebird hardcase.
Mid-1965 saw a total redesign of the entire Gibson Firebird series of guitars, switching to a more traditional "non-reverse" body shape, much simpler construction, some pickup and hardware changes, and the introduction of far more custom colors than were available on the original run.
The early Firebirds used a complex neck-through-body design, but the new models went with a more traditional set-neck and were significantly lighter, easier to build, and came in at a lower price than the first Firebird design.
The "Non-Reverse" Firebird I features a pair of P-90 pickups, short vibrola tailpiece, and an unbound neck with dot inlays. While Sunburst was the standard, most common finish, vibrant custom colors can be had for a premium price.
