Description
Fresh in from the Gibson Custom Shop is this gorgeous 1965 Non-Reverse Firebird V 12-string Reissue, a premier guitar that blends period-correct designs with modern playability. While it's a dead ringer for the '65 model, it features a full 1 11/16" neck width to accommodate the extra strings, making it far more comfortable than the original. If you've been searching for a killer 12-string electric guitar with a rockin' sound and a sleek old-school aesthetic, you need to check out this incredible Gibson Firebird.
Crafted with a mahogany body, the 1965 Non-Reverse Firebird V delivers a resonant, balanced tone with deep lows and articulate mids. Its neck-through construction ensures remarkable sustain, while the Traditional 1960s SlimTaper "C" shaped neck offers a remarkably comfortable playing experience. Guitarists will also love its sleek Indian rosewood fingerboard and 22 authentic medium-jumbo frets, which allow for effortless riffing from the first fret to the last.
Experience the genuine '65 12-string Firebird sound with this guitar's vintage-spec'd electronics. Equipped with Firebird Alnico 5 humbuckers, 500K CTS Potentiometers, and Bumblebee capacitors, this guitar pumps out an assertive midrange bite with tight lows and jangly highs - the quintessential 12-string sound with some extra muscle. Just plug it into an old-school tube amp, crank the volume to 11, and you'll be amazed at how rich and authentic it sounds.
Complete with nitrocellulose dot inlays, Kluson tuners, and an Aqua Mist finish inspired by the classic 1959 Oldsmobile color chart, the Gibson Custom 1965 Non-Reverse Firebird V 12-string Reissue flawlessly captures the spirit of rock 'n' roll. Whether you're a seasoned musician or a discerning collector, this Firebird is ready to captivate with its irresistible vintage vibe.
