1963 Gibson Firebird I
Rare bird alert! All original Gibson Firebird I in great condition! It has some wear on body and head. This guitar sounds & plays awesome, very loud and resonant! Beautiful mahogany body, with a neck-thru construction. It had a professional refret, nut is the original one. Under UV light it appears some work is done to the finish in the treble cutaway area, could be an old repair...hard to say. It's a early 'no bird' pick guard & pots are dated '63XX. Original Gibson Patent number mini hum bucker, 6 banjo tuners and the original wrap around bridge. Comes in its original case.
