Left-Handed Electric Guitar

Made in the USA!

Used! Just in on Consignment!

Used! Just in on consignment from one of our long-time regular collector/clients. This Gibson Firebird V is left handed and was made in Nashville, USA in 2013. The condition is excellent without any serious issues, damage, repairs or modifications. Hardly any signs of use at all except possibly some minor hardware oxidation or perhaps some superficial marks from light home use. As a rule I don’t usually like to call anything “mint”, as I would rather under promise and over deliver. But you’d have to really be scrutinizing things with a magnifying glass to find anything. Feel free to call for an in-hand description if you are particularly picky.

Here is some additional information from Gibson: “Conceived amid the chrome and tailfins of the Motor City, forged on the workbenches of Kalamazoo, proven on rock and blues stages around the globe, the Gibson Firebird was one of the most radical instruments the world had ever experience when it hit the scene in 1963, and it’s still a guaranteed head-turner today. The Firebird was the brainchild of legendary automotive designer and visionary Ray Dietrich (designer of classic Lincoln and Packard cars), enlisted by Gibson to bolster the guitar lines of the early ’60s and help solidify the company’s eminent rank among solid body electric guitar manufacturers.

Dietrich’s unconventional design was based loosely on both the legendary automobile tailfins of the 1950s, with a touch of the radical look of the Gibson Explorer, introduced five years earlier. Built precisely in the image of this icon, the Gibson USA Firebird, with its classic “reverse-body” styling and reverse six-in-line “hawk’s head” headstock, strikes a pose that remains as truly unique today as it was nearly five decades ago. It retains the visionary “through-body” neck design that increases sustain and resonance, while upgrading the instrument’s power with a pair of ceramic-magnet mini-humbucking pickups that look identical to the originals.

With its nitrocellulose finish and traditional appointments, such as the pearloid trapezoid fingerboard inlays, beveled headstock with black central section, and Firebird pickguard motif, today’s Firebird V is visually indistinguishable from its predecessor of the early ’60s, but it roars like no ‘Bird before it.

Like all our used / vintage gear this Lefty Explorer has been tested for functionality and priced to move. Sold as-is. What you see is what you get.
