2020 Gibson Custom Shop ‘63 Firebird V reissue in Cardinal Red.
This Firebird originally left Gibson’s factory in a slightly different shade of red, but it subsequently had a complete makeover in vintage style thin nitrocellulose lacquer in the correct shade of Cardinal Red used in the 60s. Very high quality work, this was not done at Gibson it was by a third party specialist shop. This already feels and looks like an older Firebird and has very light finish checking and minor chips/dings that add to the vibe.
Outside of the vintage spec finish, it’s all stock and original (and no breaks or anything underarm the finish). Great sounding pair or FB style humbucker pickups and perfect ‘63 size neck profile. Mahogany body with neck-through body construction and rosewood fretboard, all vintage specs.
Weighs 8.3 lbs
Nut width: 1.69” (1 11/16”)
1st fret thickness: 0.82”
12th fret neck thickness: 0.96”
Comes with original case, custom shop COA and hang tag.
Worldwide shipping available! It's just expensive due to the size of the large Firebird case.
(For reference, the new Custom Shop Firebird V models are $8,799 and the finish work on this one feels closer to a vintage Firebird based on experience).
