Vintage Gibson Firebird V Reissue in Cardinal Red, serial number 90161731, dating it to 1991. Classic reverse Firebird body shape with raised center section, cream pickguard with Firebird graphic, two chrome Firebird-style mini humbuckers, Tune-O-Matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, four control knobs, 3-way toggle switch, and side-mounted output jack.

This guitar shows heavy cosmetic wear and natural aging throughout. The red finish has visible scratches, scuffs, checking, dings, chips, and worn areas around the edges and body. The back of the body shows finish checking, surface wear, scratches, and general signs of age/use. The cream pickguard has discoloration, scratches, and the Firebird logo is faded/worn. There is noticeable wear near the upper horn/edge area.

The hardware has significant tarnish, oxidation, and corrosion, especially on the bridge, stopbar tailpiece, pickup covers, screws, and metal control parts. The bridge and tailpiece show heavy patina and would likely benefit from cleaning/setup if the buyer wants it looking or playing cleaner. Pickup covers are scratched and aged. Knobs show wear and may not be original, so originality of parts is not guaranteed.

Overall, this is best described as a player-grade vintage Gibson Firebird V with lots of honest cosmetic wear and aging. It has a cool worn-in look, but it is not a collector-clean example. Please review all photos closely for condition, finish wear, hardware oxidation, and originality.
