Firebird of Paradise Wildwoodians, we are proud to present a true bird of paradise from our friends at the Gibson Custom Shop: the 1963 Firebird V. Firebirds just ooze cool, and this one has mojo for days! Let's dive deeper and see what makes it so special! For starters, the mini-humbuckers are incredible pickups! They sound muscular and well-sculpted, hefty but without an ounce of flub or muddiness. The lows are nice and tight, the mids have a big-mouthed bite, and the trebles have pleasant sparkle and chime without any accompanying harshness. The Firebird's neck-through construction also gives it lovely sustain and a bit of extra resonance. It's awfully hard to pick a desert island sound when you work at a place like Wildwood, but the mini-hums in this guitar are definitely a contender! Add in a host of period-correct details like a stunning vintage mahogany sunburst finish, banjo-style tuners, and an imminently comfortable slim neck, and you have one of the coolest entries in the Gibson Custom Shop lineup ever! We're proud to showcase the 1963 Firebird V, and we have no doubt its elegant charms will steal your heart after just a couple of licks!Model: 1963 Firebird VFinish Color: Vintage SunburstFinish Type: GlossWeight: 7.96 lbs.Body Wood: Layered Mahogany Neck Wood: 5-Piece Mahogany and WalnutNeck Dimensions: .860 1st - 1.000 12thFingerboard: Indian RosewoodFingerboard Inlays: Reissue TrapezoidsFrets: 22 ReissueScale Length: 24.75"Width at Nut: 1.687"Nut Material: NylonBinding: Single-ply Cream on FingerboardHardware: Aged NickelPickup: 2 Firebird AlNiCo V Mini-HumbuckersControls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone, 3-way Switch, Firebird V Wiring, Black Cat Capacitors, Vintage-Taper PotentiometersBridge: ABRTailpiece: Lightweight StopbarPickguard: 3-Ply White with Red FirebirdCase: Gibson Custom Shop Black/Yellow Hardshell with Wildwood Spec BadgeCOA: Yes
