Epiphone Firebird Electric Guitar – Vintage Sunburst Epiphone

Our Take:

Epiphone’s Firebird, part of their Inspired by Gibson collection, shows us why guitar greats such as Dave Grohl, Warren Haynes, and Eric Clapton all took to the skies with this iconic guitar silhouette. First introduced in ’63, the Firebird was certainly divergent from Gibson’s traditional guitar designs – but no less of an instrument! It features a traditional 9-ply mahogany and walnut SlimTaper™ neck, a set of ProBucker™ FB720 pickups that scream just like the original Firebirds did. Other appointments include a super comfortable rolled neck, era-appropriate wiring, and of course: the reverse body and headstock design that makes this Firebird stand out just like the originals. 

Epiphone’s Take:

Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson Firebird™ rocks a reverse body and headstock design as originally introduced in 1963 and was Gibson’s first neck-through-body design. The traditional 9-ply mahogany/walnut neck-through-body provides rich, warm tonality and incredible sustain. A SlimTaper™ neck with a bound, Indian laurel fingerboard and acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlays offers fast and effortless playability. The newly refreshed Firebird is outfitted with a set of ProBucker™ FB720 pickups to recapture the scorching output and searing tones of the original voice for which the Firebird is known, and Grover® 18:1 ratio mini tuners. Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Original models feature a rolled neck for a comfortable feel, GraphTech® NuBone® nut, era-appropriate wiring, and CTS® pots. Optional hardshell is available.
