This used Gibson Firebird V is in Mint condition and would be an amazing addition to anyone's collection. Built in 2012, it has an off-white Mahogany reverse-style body with white pickguard (with the traditional Firebird logo emblazoned in red), a Mahogany neck and fast-acting Rosewood fingerboard, all of which make it an incredible guitar. With dual ceramic mini-humbuckers (495R at the neck, 495T at the bridge), it can accommodate practically any electric style, from blues and jazz to rock and country, without missing a beat. Instead of the typical banjo-style tuners, this one has six in-line Steinberger gearless tuners for a more stream-lined look that also ensures more precision when tuning.
This guitar is also light - like, only 7 lb. of straight rock and roll - meaning you won't break your back doing your best Johnny Winter look. Great-looking, great-sounding, and just plain fun to play, this Gibson Firebird V is an iconic instrument worth picking up. The original hard case is included too.
