The 2016 Gibson Firebird V in Pelham Blue is a limited-edition model featuring a striking vintage-inspired finish and a Lyre-style Vibrola tailpiece. It combines classic Firebird aesthetics with modern craftsmanship for both stage and studio use.

This Firebird has a neck-through body construction, with the neck and body made from mahogany with walnut laminates. The body is finished in Pelham Blue nitrocellulose lacquer, giving it a deep, slightly faded metallic look that enhances the guitar’s vintage vibe.

The fingerboard is rosewood, bound, with pearl trapezoid inlays and 22 medium frets. The neck is shaped in a 1960s “Slim” profile, offering a comfortable grip for both rhythm and lead playing.

Tonally, it is equipped with two Firebird mini-humbucker pickups, providing the signature bright, snappy Firebird sound with clear highs, smooth mids, and strong articulation. Electronics include two volume and two tone controls, plus a three-way toggle switch to select pickup combinations.

The hardware is chrome, including the Lyre-style Vibrola tailpiece, which allows expressive vibrato while maintaining tuning stability when properly set up. Vintage-style tuners ensure accurate intonation and smooth tuning adjustments.

The guitar has some finishwear. Comes with original case and checklist.
