Our users rate Reverb
Wow this is a real Top Instrument 🔥🎸✨
The 1991 Gibson Firebird reissues (produced during Gibson's highly regarded "Good Wood" era) are built with a classic "Reverse" body styling.
Please note that in 1991, the primary production model was technically the Firebird V. However, Gibson also manufactured highly limited 3-pickup "reissue" variants and Custom Shop Edition runs mimicking the vintage Firebird III configuration.
The technical specifications for a 1991 Gibson Firebird are broken down below:
Body & Neck Construction
Body Style: Reversed asymmetrical shape.
Construction: Multi-ply mahogany and walnut neck-through-body core, complete with mahogany body wings glued to the sides.
Neck Profile: Slim-to-medium C-shape profile.
Fretboard: Bound Indian Rosewood (Note: Limited editions like the 1991 Celebrity Series featured an ebony board instead).
Frets: 22 Medium Jumbo frets.
Scale Length: 24.75 inches.
Nut Width: Standard Gibson 1.695 inches.
Fretboard Inlays: Pearloid trapezoid markers (or dot inlays depending on the specific subset model).
Electronics
Pickups: High-output Ceramic Mini-Humbuckers (specifically the 495R for the neck and 495T for the bridge). These are high-gain, bright, and punchy pickups designed to match early '90s rock preferences.
Pickup Layout: Standard production models feature 2 pickups. Firebird III configurations from this era feature a 3-pickup layout.
Controls: 4 black reflector top-hat knobs (2 Volume, 2 Tone) utilizing 1991-stamped CTS potentiometers.
Switching: 3-way toggle pickup selector switch.
Hardware & Cosmetics
Tuners: Traditional, heavy-duty 6-in-a-line rear-facing planetary gear "Banjo" tuners.
Bridge: Adjustable Tune-O-Matic bridge.
Tailpiece: Zinc Stopbar tailpiece (unlike the original 1960s vibrolas).
Hardware Finish: Chrome-plated (Gold hardware was reserved exclusively for the Celebrity Series).
Pickguard: White 3-ply pickguard complete with a red-stenciled or engraved Firebird logo.
Finishes: Primarily available in Vintage Sunburst
