Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird V w/ Maestro Vibrola VOS Vintage Sunburst

Fired Up Since '63

When Gibson hired famed automotive designer Ray Dietrich to create a radical new solid body guitar, Rock 'n Roll history ensued. With its offset shape, neck-through construction and scorching mini-humbuckers, the '63 Firebird V became an instant classic.
