Description:
When Gibson hired the famous automobile designer Ray Dietrich to create new and innovative Solid Body electric guitars, the advent of Rock 'n Roll coincided perfectly.
With its offset shape, neck-through construction, and pair of Mini Humbucker pickups, the 1963 Firebird quickly became a classic.
Original models are worth a fortune, but this Custom Shop reissue offers an accessible price and meticulous accuracy. Every detail has been reproduced; nothing has been overlooked, utilizing 3D scans of original specimens and comparative field testing.
A masterpiece born from the skilled hands of the Gibson Custom Shop luthiers.
