When Gibson hired famed automotive designer Ray Dietrich to create a radical new solid body guitar, rock 'n roll history ensued. With its offset shape, neck-through construction, and scorching mini-humbuckers™, the '63 Firebird™ V became an instant classic. The Gibson Custom Shop is proud to present this exacting replica of a vintage original, which uses authentic contours, dimensions and construction methods for an incredible ownership and playing experience. It features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.Other specifications include:Body Style FirebirdBody Shape DesignerBody Material Layered MahoganyBody Finish Murphy Lab Aged Nitrocellulose LacquerWeight Relief NoneProfile Medium CScale Length 628.65 mm / 24.75 inFingerboard Material Indian RosewoodFingerboard Radius 304.8 mm / 12 inNeck Material 9-ply Mahogany/Walnut Neck-ThroughFret Count 22Frets Authentic Medium-JumboNut Material NylonNut Width 42.85 mm / 1.687 inEnd Of Board Width 56.89 mm / 2.239 inInlays Aged Cellulose Nitrate TrapezoidJoint Neck-Through ConstructionFinish Nickel; Murphy Lab Light AgedBridge ABR-1Saddle Material Nickel-plated BrassTailpiece Maestro VibrolaTuning Machines Deluxe Banjo TunersPickguard 3-Ply White/Black/White Firebird Hot-stampedTruss Rod 2-way AdjustableTruss Rod Cover Black 1-Ply Gibson Hot-stampedControl Knobs Gold Top Hats with Silver InsertsSwitch Tip CreamControl Covers BlackStrap Buttons AluminumPickup Covers NickelNeck Pickup Firebird Alnico 5Bridge Pickup Firebird Alnico 5Controls 2 Volume, 2 Tone, 500K CTS Potentiometers, Hand-Wired HarnessPickup Selector 3-Way SwitchcraftOutput Jack 1/4" SwitchcraftStrings Gauge .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046Case Custom Shop HardshellAccessories Certificate of AuthenticityFB5ULPBNM18 lbs 8 oz#405833For more information on this Gibson Custom Shop instrument, please contact us.
