The Gibson Firebird remains one of the most iconic and instantly recognizable shapes in the electric guitar world. Originally conceived by legendary automotive designer Ray Dietrich, its bold lines drew inspiration from classic car styling and the Gibson Explorer. Epiphone proudly presents the Futura Firebird Custom -- a modern interpretation of a design that was revolutionary when it debuted in 1963.
