Personal Thoughts:
The Firebird V is one of Gibson’s coolest offset designs and always feels a bit more distinctive than the usual Les Paul or SG route. The neck-through construction is a big part of the appeal, because it gives these guitars a really lively, sustaining feel, while the Firebird mini humbuckers keep the tone tighter, brighter and a bit more cutting than a standard full-size humbucker setup. That combination is what makes a good Firebird so addictive. The Vintage Sunburst finish works brilliantly on them too, especially on a ’90s example like this, as it keeps the guitar looking classy while still showing off the slightly eccentric shape and hardware. A very cool USA Gibson and one that always seems to have its own voice.

Condition Report:
Very good condition. There are some minor impressions and scratches present from use, but nothing excessive. Overall it still presents very well and remains a tidy example.
