Description

This 1963 Gibson Firebird III is an early example of Gibson's iconic reverse-body design, featuring a mahogany body and neck with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, finished in classic Sunburst. Equipped with dual mini-humbuckers and its original controls, it delivers the bright, punchy tones and distinctive character that have made vintage Firebirds so desirable. The comfortable oval-shaped neck and classic early-'60s styling round out this beautiful vintage Gibson.

This example is in good used condition with rewound pickups and replacement wiring while retaining its original controls. Weighs 8.0 lbs and includes the original hard shell case.
