DISC Gibson Firebird V 2010 Electric Guitar, Vintage Sunburst Overview
A favourite on rock and blues stages across the globe, the Gibson Firebird hit the scene in 1963 and is still a guaranteed head-turner today. One of the most radical instruments the world has ever seen, the Firebird has helped to solidify Gibson's ranking as one of the greatest guitar manufacturers around. The unique 'winged' mahogany body combines with a pair of hot ceramic 495 mini humbuckers to produce rock tones to die for.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionDesigned by legendary visionary Ray Dietrich, the Firebird is modelled on the automobile tailfins of the 50's, with a touch of the radical look from the Gibson Explorer. The Firebird V 2010 has classic 'reverse body' styling and a 'hawks head' headstock.
The 'through-body' neck design of the Firebird increases sustain and resonance whilst upgrading the instrument's power with a pair of ceramic magnet mini-humbucking pickups.
The Rosewood fingerboard of the Firebird V is inlaid with acrylic trapezoid position markers, and provides a warm, rich and responsive tone with a clear and tight bass projection without overshadowing sparkling midrange or trebles.
The nitrocellulose Vintage Sunburst finish is complemented by vintage-inspired design features such as the pearloid trapezoid fingerboard inlays, beveled headstock with black central section and Firebird pickguard motif. The overall look is close to that of the original 60's Firebird, but it roars like no 'Bird before.
