Gibson Custom Shop ’65 Reissue Firebird V – Pelham Blue VOS – 2003

Hi,

I’m taking another step toward downsizing my collection and am offering this Gibson Custom Shop ’65 Reissue Firebird V in Pelham Blue VOS, from 2003.

The guitar is in excellent condition for its age and has clearly been well cared for. There is some minor finish checking on the back of the headstock, as well as a small ding on the front of the headstock near the high-E tuner. Please see the photos for details.

The original Gibson Arts & Historic hardshell case is included. The previous owner removed the tab from the combination lock, presumably because the lock was defective or the combination had been forgotten. The tab itself is included and can be reattached if desired.

Pickup / Shipping

Local inspection and in-person pickup are of course welcome.

Insured shipping via DHL is also possible. I have suitable packing materials on hand and will pack the guitar carefully and securely for shipping.

Private Sale

This is a private sale. The item is sold as-is, with no warranty, returns, or liability for defects beyond what is legally required.

For shipped purchases, the buyer assumes the shipping risk once the item has been handed over to the carrier. I will pack the guitar carefully and to the best of my knowledge, normally using sturdy packaging and appropriate protective material to minimize the risk of transport damage.

I am not liable for damage or loss occurring during transportation by the shipping provider.

Insured shipping is strongly recommended. Shipping costs and shipping risk are the responsibility of the buyer.
