About this listing
The 1991 Gibson Firebird V in Cardinal Red is everything a great vintage-inspired rock guitar should be: bold, elegant, unapologetically distinctive, and built with the kind of craftsmanship that defined Gibson’s golden-era instruments. With its iconic Reverse Firebird body design and neck-through-body construction, this guitar delivers unmistakable sustain, resonance, and visual presence that few instruments can rival.
Crafted from a mahogany and walnut neck-through core with matching mahogany body wings, the Firebird V resonates with a deep, articulate voice that feels alive in your hands. The slim-to-medium ‘60s-style neck profile paired with a smooth rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets creates an effortless playing experience that feels fast, comfortable, and endlessly expressive across the entire 24.75" scale.
At the heart of its unmistakable tone are dual Firebird mini-humbuckers, offering the perfect balance of clarity, bite, warmth, and chime. From cutting vintage rock leads to smoky blues textures and shimmering clean passages, these pickups retain remarkable articulation while still delivering the raw authority that made the Firebird legendary. Independent volume and tone controls, along with a traditional 3-way selector, provide an expansive tonal palette with classic Gibson responsiveness.
Visually, the Cardinal Red finish is stunning: rich, vibrant, and undeniably stage-ready. Combined with the chrome hardware, ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and signature banjo-style planetary tuners, the Firebird carries an unmistakable aesthetic that blends futuristic design with vintage cool.
Weighing in at an ideal 7 lbs 15 oz, this Firebird feels perfectly balanced and resonant whether seated or strapped on for a full set. Complete with its hardshell case, this 1991 Firebird V is more than just a guitar. It is a statement piece, a player’s instrument, and a timeless example of Gibson innovation at its finest.
