Description:
The Gibson Custom Firebird Custom with Bound Head Veneer represents an elegant and refined evolution of one of the most iconic designs ever created by Gibson. Inspired by the historical specifications of the Firebird Custom and enriched with high-level aesthetic details, this version enhances the distinctive character of the model with an even more luxurious stage presence.
The mahogany body, adorned with multi-layer binding on the top, is paired with a mahogany neck that ensures exceptional resonance and stability. The Medium "C" profile provides a perfect balance between comfort and solidity, naturally adapting to any playing style.
The ebony fingerboard, featuring a 12" radius and 22 Medium Jumbo frets, ensures smooth and precise playability, while the block inlays made of mother-of-pearl add a touch of timeless class.
The electronics consist of a pair of Gibson-branded humbuckers, with a 490R at the neck and a 498T at the bridge: a powerful and versatile configuration capable of ranging from clean, defined tones to rich, aggressive distortions. The volume and tone controls, hand-wired with CTS® pots, offer precise and reliable response in any situation.
Completing the setup is a Tune-O-Matic™ bridge with a Stop Bar tailpiece and Grover® tuners, elements that ensure tuning stability and impeccable intonation. The gold hardware, multi-layer black pickguard with the Firebird logo, and the three-layer bound headstock with a mother-of-pearl Gibson logo define a sophisticated and distinctive aesthetic.
Designed for those seeking an instrument that combines tradition and prestige, this Firebird Custom stands out for its elegance, character, and performance, ready to make an impression on any stage.
