Gibson Custom Shop 1965 Firebird V Vintage Sunburst
Item: GBHSF5VSNML1
This first version of the Gibson Firebird with it's futuristic design was launched in 1963 and dicountinued in 1965. It features the classic offset body styling and neck-through-body design for increased sustain and solid attack. The Gibson Custom Shop In Nashville made this amazing reproduction of the classic Firebird V with Maestro "Lyre" vibrato and nickle parts as close to the original as we are going to get. The neck shape and playabilty of this instrument is off the charts. The Custom Shop produces almost none of these Firebird V's with Maestro as of late and you won't see too many available anywhere. A truly amazing instrument.
