Epiphone 1963 Firebird V Reissue With Maestro Vibrola - polaris white
Epiphone and the Gibson Custom Shop have teamed up to create the EPIPHONE Inspired By Gibson Custom Collection 1963 Firebird V With Maestro Vibrola Reissue (ECFVR3PWNM1) solid body electric guitar – an authentic replica of the guitar designed by legendary automotive designer Ray Dietrich.
When it was launched in 1963, the Firebird™ was Gibson’s first neck-through-body model, and it went on to be used by players in a wide range of genres, including blues legend Johnny Winter, Keith Richards and Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music, to name a few.
The 1963 Firebird V With Maestro Vibrola Reissue delivers vintage Firebird specifications at an accessible price, including a 9-ply neck-through-body made of mahogany and walnut with mahogany body wings to either side.
Kluson® planetary geared “banjo” tuners anchor the strings at the headstock, while a Wraparound Lightning Bar bridge holds things down at the other end and ensures exceptional sustain.
While in keeping with the vintage 1963 Firebird's stripped-down specifications, the electronics are also premium and include a Gibson USA Firebird mini humbucker™ pickups with Alnico 5 magnets, CTS® potentiometers, a Mallory™ capacitor, and a Switchcraft® 1/4” output jack, giving this remarkable recreation not only the look but the sound of a classic Firebird.
