Description

This Non-Reverse Firebird is an acoustically impressive guitar and plays like a dream. There are a number of modifications that bring this into a more player priced arena. There are standard repairs like a refret and a new nut, however, there are also more prominent changes like replaced pickups, a changed bridge, repaired headstock break and replacement tuners. While the changes do influence the value, they do not take away from the guitar's incredible sound and playability. This is a guitar worth a second look and one you must play to believe.

Comes with a newer Gibson hard shell case
