Epiphone 1963 Firebird V Electric Guitar – Ember Red

Prepare to take flight with this gorgeous Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird V. This collaboration between Epiphone and the Gibson Custom Shop delivers the vibe and specs of the legendary original at a price that won’t ground your wallet. With its striking reverse-body design, the Firebird V was a bold departure from the norm when it was first introduced in ’63, and it’s been the weapon of choice for rock and blues legends ever since. The unique 9-ply neck-through construction of mahogany and walnut provides incredible sustain and stability, while the mahogany body wings keep the tone rich and resonant. This is the guitar that powered the likes of Johnny Winter and the Rolling Stones, and now it’s your turn to make some history!

The attention to vintage detail on this guitar is second to none. It features a pair of authentic Gibson USA Firebird mini humbucker pickups that are wired up with premium CTS pots and Mallory caps, giving you that iconic Firebird tone with sparkling highs and a focused midrange. The newly redesigned Maestro Vibrola tailpiece with an engraved Epiphone logo lets you add expressive vibrato to your playing, just like the originals. The ’63 Firebird neck profile feels fast and comfortable, and the Kluson planetary geared “banjo” tuners not only look amazing but also provide stable tuning. Whether you’re a fan of vintage blues, classic rock, or just want a guitar that stands out from the crowd, this Firebird V is ready to ignite your playing.
