2013 Gibson Firebird V Reverse Body Ebony w/ Case & Hangtags
Up for sale, a 2013 Gibson Firebird V in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. Created in collaboration with legendary automotive designer Ray Dietrich, the Firebird remains as eye-catching and distinct today as it was upon introduction in 1963, and this modern iteration features “reverse body” stylings, neck-through construction, ceramic magnet Firebird mini humbuckers, and a gloss Ebony nitro lacquer finish.
Featuring nine-ply mahogany/walnut neck-through construction, the instrument's warmth and natural sustain translates faithfully through the pair of Gibson’s 495R/T ceramic mini humbucking pickups. The tone is rich and full, with plenty of midrange content and an aggressive treble bite. This Firebird V weighs 8lbs 2oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Ebony nitro lacquer finish has light buckle rash central to the back, some finish chips along the back edge at the lower bout, a bit of strap rash at the upper strap button, and various minor marks consistent with use. The gloss on the neck profile is smooth to the palm, with a handful of shallow nicks and scuffs that don’t distract the palm while fretting.
