This 1963 Gibson Firebird is too cool, rocking double pickup power and top-of-the-line appointments like the trapezoid inlays and maestro tailpiece. It's undergone a handful of modifications and repairs, most noticeably the tremolo arm has been ground off. It is a very clean removal with rounded edges. Additionally, this guitar suffered a headstock break and heel break, both of which have been professionally repaired with little evidence of the breaks. The neck pickup was rewound and the fingerboard was refretted, both completed by our in-house repair team. It remains a structurally stable guitar with impeccable tone, and killer vintage mojo.

Includes vintage hard shell case.
