The epitome of functionality and style, the Firebird V features a 9-ply neck-thru-body design for maximum strength and stability. Today's Firebird V faithfully reproduces the neck-through-body construction that made the originals legendary.
The Gibson Firebird V is a fine-tuned version of the classic Gibson design. With its "reverse" body style, Gibson's Firebird series of 1963 took conventional guitar design on a 180-degree turn. Today's Firebird V faithfully reproduces the neck-through-body construction that made the originals legendary. This model is powered by a pair of high-output, ceramic mini-humbuckers.
The fingerboard is rosewood, with 22 frets, pearloid trapezoid inlays and binding. Other features include banjo-style in-line chrome tuners, and a Tune-o-matic bridge.
