Description
What makes this guitar special? This is a unique guitar straight out of Gibson’s 70s catalogues. Based on the reverse-body Firebird, this unusual shape still boasts a mass of familiarity in things like its easy playing neck, simple controls, and HH configuration. The pickups sound fantastic and have a ton of power due to their active status and drive anything this guitar is plugged into. Its overall aesthetic is simple with its black and white theme, but adds a bit of character with additions like gold hardware and a distinct headstock inlay. In addition, it is super clean and has been given a great setup so it plays beautifully.
Condition: This guitar is in excellent condition overall. It does possess a few light surface scratches and small dings throughout the body, but is still very clean and looks fantastic. The frets show very little wear and still have a full lifetime left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.
