Description: Born on the Bicentennial of The United States and also a great year for Rock n Roll (Aerosmith, Steve Miller, Queen, ELO, Boston, Frampton and many more were flying high on the charts), this Firebird from '76 has the magic and legitimate vibe of that era built into its DNA. It's more than just a pretty bird to hang on your wall though...It's also a killer playing guitar (with a fresh setup from our tech) with a singing tone courtesy of a pair of original Mini humbuckers which a lot of players consider to be among the best pickups Gibson ever adorned their guitars with. It all adds up to a collectible piece of very playable art that celebrates 200 years of the country that brought us the electric guitar as we currently celebrate the 250th (and 50th of this guitar) anniversary!
