This one is a 2013 Gibson Firebird VT in a beautiful vintage sunburst finish. It's the iconic example of Gibson's USA-made reverse-body design, featuring a mahogany/walnut, neck-through-body construction with mahogany wings.

The Gibson Firebird is a perfect choice for both blues and rock and was used by players like blues legend Johnny Winter, Lynyrd Skynyrd's Allen Collins, and Cream-era Eric Clapton.

Installed are Gibson Firebird mini-humbuckers which provide exceptional clarity, brightness, and vintage-articulate character. These are the hotter ceramic editions and have Ohms reading of 15k (neck) and 25k (bridge). This Firebird features Steinberger 40:1 ratio tuners which provide unmatched micro-tuning. These are lighter than the infamous piano tuners.

This guitar has been very well cared for and is in excellent condition. There is one or two very slight indentations on the body between the pups. (I've included a photograph.) The end of the headstock also has a very slight bit of wear and there is a small 3/4 finish check in the lacquer near the bridge pup. There is also a 1/2 scratch in the finish on the back of the upper bout (see photo).

The previous owner had strap-lock buttons installed (see photo). Other than the buttons, this guitar is 100% original and still has checklist, owner's manual, and (unfilled) warranty.

This Firebird weighs in at 7lbs 6ozs. It comes with a Gibson gig bag which is in perfect condition.

Specs include:

1960 Slim Taper 9-ply Mahogany/Walnut Neck

Neck-through-body Construction

Rosewood Fingerboard With Pearloid Trapezoid

1.71" Nut Width

2 Volume, 2 Tone, 3-way Toggle Switch

Nashville-style Tune-o-matic Bridge

Stopbar tailpiece

Weighs 7lbs 13oz

I am selling this great guitar because I picked up a 2013 Firebird in classic white and I need to pass one of them on to its next proud owner. I have priced it lower than market because I have to pay for the white one. You all know how that goes. Feel free to make me a reasonable offer. Thanks for looking.
