Description
What makes this guitar special: This is a killer limited run Non-Reverse Firebird. Not many non-reverse models have been released, so this 2015 version opens up the market for a few more people to get a hold of them, and we have a feeling this one won’t last long. It is in phenomenal shape and looks, plays, and sounds equally awesome. The mini humbuckers sound great in both positions, with a bit more meat and low to mid-range response in the bridge, and more classic jangle in the bridge. In addition, this guitar is in fantastic shape for being used and due to its availability, likely won’t last long. So don’t hesitate!
Condition: This guitar is in excellent condition overall. Outside of a few minor dings, dents, scuffs, and light scratches, it is in fantastic shape for a used guitar. The frets show almost no wear whatsoever and still have a full lifetime of playing left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.
Body: Non-reverse mahogany body in Vintage Sunburst finish. 3-ply white pickguard with Firebird logo. Black top hat control knobs with silver inserts. Chrome Tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece.
Neck: SlimTaper mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays. Chrome Grover tuning machines. 1 11/16” nut width. 24 3/4" scale.
Electronics: Mini humbucker in the neck and bridge. 2 x volume, 2 x tone controls. 3-way pickup selector.
Weight: 8 lbs 1.6 oz
Playability/Sound: The SlimTaper neck plays great from the nut to the cutaway and should be a familiar feel for many Gibson players especially. The mini-humbuckers are the perfect mix of the body and character of a humbucker, but with a little low end rolled off for a bit more single-coil jangle.
Case: Includes original hardshell case.
