Description
Recommended player-condition used item!
A stunning Gibson Firebird V Reissue has arrived in recommended player's condition used condition! It was manufactured in 1997.
This guitar boasts a sophisticated Vintage Sunburst finish, giving it an undeniable presence!

A Firebird soaring high in the sky! The Gibson Firebird was first released in 1963 as Gibson's first model to feature a neck-through-body design!

Around the time Gibson hired renowned automotive designer Ray Dietrich to develop a fundamentally new solid-body guitar unlike anything they'd ever created, the wave of rock and roll was slowly sweeping in. With its offset body shape, neck-through construction, and scorching-sounding mini-humbuckers, the Firebird V instantly became a masterpiece in Gibson guitar history.

The Firebird V we have in stock this time is a 1997 reissue.
This is a Firebird V, a reissue model from 1963, equipped with banjo-style tuning pegs!
The body is made of mahogany, the neck is a 9-ply mahogany and walnut construction with a neck-through design, and the fingerboard is rosewood. The trebly and biting sound characteristic of mini-humbuckers is a perfect match for the rich and sustained tone!

Beyond its very rock-and-roll look, this model boasts an easy-to-use sound that blends seamlessly into band music! If you're playing with someone who owns a Firebird-type model, everyone will sense that they're no ordinary musician! Recommended for band members looking for a guitar that exudes a special aura!

We've just received a recommended player's condition used item! It's a 1997 model.
While there are numerous small scratches, a large dent showing the wood grain on the right-hand corner of the body top, countless small dents, buckle scratches, overall paint discoloration, a crack on the top of the pickguard, pick scratches on the pickguard, small dents on the headstock, small scratches and dents all over the back of the neck, cracks throughout the neck binding, and tarnishing of the metal parts, this guitar has a great character! We have performed a full maintenance and cleaning at our shop, so it is ready to use immediately. Although there are many scratches and dents, this is a highly recommended used guitar with plenty of character!

The ABR-1 bridge has been replaced (non-original/made in Japan). The thumbwheel on the 1st string side has also been replaced (neither of these are original parts).

The frets have been leveled and it's ready to use. Approximately 75% of the fret life remains.
The nuts are currently functional and there are no issues with their use. The truss rod also functions normally and there are no problems with its adjustment.

The electrical system has also been fully checked, so there are no problems with its operation.

The weight is approximately 3.79 kg. It has a balanced design that produces a solid, focused sound.
This guitar boasts a sophisticated Vintage Sunburst finish, giving it an undeniable presence!

Accessories include the original brown hard case, Pre-Pack Checklist, warranty from the original distributor Yamano Music, and Japanese instruction manual. The key is a number key.
