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.
*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
