Performance, playability and styling are the hallmarks of the Firebird VII. When first introduced in 1965, the Firebird VII was celebrated for its natural feel, fast action and wide range of tone. With its 9-ply Mahogany and Walnut neck-thru-body design, the 6-in-a-line banjo style machine heads and the adjustable ABR bridge and stop bar tailpiece, this guitar became the rage.
The new Firebird VII also feature vintage replicas of Gibson's high-output mini-humbucker producing bright and focused output, while retaining the famous Gibson humbucker performance. The ebony fingerboard and Lyre vibrola add to its expressive range. Available in Cherry and Vintage Sunburst. Also available with all mahogany bodies in Blue Metallic, Copper Metallic and Red Metallic
