**Gibson Custom Shop Eric Clapton 1964 Firebird I – Vintage Sunburst – #023/100 – 2019**


One of only 100 built worldwide, signed by Eric Clapton on the backplate. Gibson Custom Shop's recreation of the '64 Firebird I Clapton played through the Cream years, built from dimensions scanned off the original.


Vintage Sunburst nitro over a nine-ply mahogany/walnut neck-through body, single Alnico V Firebird pickup, lightning bar wraparound bridge, and banjo tuners on the reverse headstock. Light, resonant, and dead simple — volume, tone, and one of the most distinctive single-pickup voices Gibson ever built.


Barely played and in excellent, near-unplayed condition. Complete with the original case, COA booklet (#023), Gibson pre-pack checklist, hang tags, picks, and the replica Clapton strap. Serial ECFB 023.
