With a design that once set the guitar world aflame, the Gibson Firebird has endured as a favorite among players who appreciate a unique shape and incredibly clear sound. Gibson has updated the 2015 Firebird with Steinberger gearless tuners, a Zero Fret nut and a wider fretboard to give guitarists an even more player-friendly model.

In Line with Classic Design

In its time, the Firebird was a radical guitar shape, but players soon discovered its comfort and sonic advantages. The 2015 Firebird keeps that same shape, with mahogany wings attached to a nine-ply mahogany and walnut neck that boldly runs all the way through the body. This design ensures your notes ring out for miles by promoting resonance. The neck is cut in a slim profile for a more modern feel and topped with a rosewood fretboard. The 22 frets run over the neck's binding, giving players a wider playing surface.
