About this listing
Whoever approved this guitar at Gibson deserves a raise... even if they're already retired.Picture the conversation..."Should we build another Les Paul?""Nah.""Another SG?""Boring.""Fine... let's take a Firebird, turn it around backwards, paint it TV White, cover it in gold hardware, install THREE snarling P-90s, and make it look like it just stepped off the stage at a 1965 rock festival.""...You're promoted."Twenty-three years later, we're all still applauding that decision.This isn't a guitar for someone who likes to blend into the wallpaper. It's for the player who enjoys hearing, "I've never seen one of those before," at every rehearsal, every gig, and every guitar store within a hundred miles. It has vintage swagger, Custom Shop craftsmanship, and enough P-90 attitude to make your amplifier question its life choices.If you've spent your life chasing guitars that everyone else owns... this isn't one of them.If you've spent your life chasing guitars everyone wishes they owned... welcome.Specs:Model: 2003 Gibson Custom Shop Non-Reverse FirebirdFinish: TV White NitrocelluloseBody: MahoganyNeck: MahoganyNeck Profile: Medium, .903" At The 1st Fret - .985" At The 12th FretFingerboard: RosewoodBridge: Tune-O-MaticTailpiece: Stop TailPickups: Triple Gibson P-90 Soapbars, with Black CoversControls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone, 3-Way TogglePickguard: 3-Ply White With Red Firebird LogoHardware: GoldTuners: Grover Mini-RotomaticTruss Rod Cover: GibsonStrings: Fresh Gibson .010-.046Case: Original Gibson Custom Shop Hard Shell CaseIncludes: Original Certificate Of Authenticity, Original Case Candy & Pre-Pack ChecklistWeight: 8.0 LBSSerial #: CS30560Condition:She was born on April 11th, 2003 and remains in exceptionally clean condition for being 23 years old. She's clearly lived a very comfortable life.The TV White finish has aged beautifully into that creamy vintage hue that only nitrocellulose lacquer can create over time. She has a small amount of finish checking and discoloration on the back of the headstock... There is also a small amount of finish checking near the pickguard. These are purely cosmetic and simply part of the personality that a well-preserved vintage nitro guitar develops over the years.We also installed a fresh set of Gibson .010-.046 strings, so she's ready to go the moment you open the case.Included are the original Gibson Custom Shop hard shell case, the original certificate of authenticity, the original case candy, and the original pre-pack checklist.Now... a few things you should know before purchasing.You may suddenly develop an uncontrollable urge to play every riff with the bridge pickup just to hear those glorious P-90s bark.Friends who previously ignored your guitar collection will somehow spot this one from across the room and immediately ask if they can play it.Your Les Paul may become jealous.Your SG may start sleeping in its case.And every time someone asks, "Why didn't you just buy another Strat?" you'll simply smile... because explaining this guitar to someone who's never experienced one is like explaining barbecue to a vegetarian.Some things simply have to be experienced.This Firebird is one of them. 🔥Whoever brings this baby home will be completely STOKED!!LET’S GOOOO!! 🎸🔥WHILE YOU ARE HERE, GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT MY OTHER LISTINGS!!Me- I have a 100% positive feedback rating, and intend to keep it that way!
