Gibson Johnny Winter Signature Firebird V – #30 of Limited Run (Preloved)

This is something special. Number 30 in Gibson’s limited run of Johnny Winter Signature Firebird Vs, this guitar is a faithful tribute to the late slide maestro’s iconic stage companion — and a rare find for collectors and serious players alike.

Built with vintage Firebird specs and unmistakable style, the guitar features the classic mini-humbucker configuration, neck-through mahogany/walnut construction, and slim taper neck that made Winter’s tone so fiery and fluid. It’s a player’s piece, no question — but also a collector’s item with the provenance to match.

This one comes with original paperwork, official Johnny Winter signature Dunlop slide, a set of Johnny Winter picks, and a signed photo (believed to be autographed by his long-time guitar tech). Everything you'd want from a tribute guitar that actually feels worthy of the name.

Condition: Very good overall — well cared for, plays as it should, and all electronics function perfectly. Some cosmetic flaws to note: the case covering has deteriorated significantly while in storage (think flaked or eaten vinyl tolex), but the interior and structural protection of the case remain intact.

Whether you're chasing tone, tribute, or a collector-grade Gibson with real soul — this Firebird delivers.
