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 Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird V 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 an Epiphone ABR bridge and newly redesigned Maestro™ Vibrola™ with an engraved Epiphone logo hold things down at the other end. The electronics are also premium and include Gibson USA Firebird mini humbucker™ pickups with Alnico 5 magnets, CTS® potentiometers, Mallory™ capacitors, and a Switchcraft® 3-way pickup selector toggle switch and 1\/4” output jack, giving this remarkable recreation not only the look but also the sound of a classic Firebird V. An Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom hard-shell case is also included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003e\nShape: Firebird\u003cbr\u003e\nBody: 9-ply Mahogany\/Walnut Neck-Through\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: 9-ply Mahogany\/Walnut\u003cbr\u003e\nProfile: 1963 Firebird\u003cbr\u003e\nNut width: 43 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nFingerboard: Indian Laurel\u003cbr\u003e\nScale length: 628.65 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nNumber of frets: 22\u003cbr\u003e\nNut: Graph Tech\u003cbr\u003e\nInlay: Mother of Pearl Trapezoid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware\u003cbr\u003e\nBridge: Epiphone ABR\u003cbr\u003e\nKnobs: Black with Silver Reflectors\u003cbr\u003e\nTailpiece: Maestro Vibrola\u003cbr\u003e\nTuners: Kluson \"Banjo-style\" Planetary\u003cbr\u003e\nPlating: Nickel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Pickup: Gibson USA Firebird Mini Humbucker with Alnico 5 Magnet\u003cbr\u003e\nBridge Pickup: Gibson USA Firebird Mini Humbucker with Alnico 5 Magnet\u003cbr\u003e\nControls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone, Hand-wired with CTS Potentiometers and Mallory Capacitors\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44429888716893,"sku":"BM711106137469","price":3134.05,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/8179\/7213\/files\/eigc63fb5frbnm1_1.png?v=1778334378","url":"https:\/\/gearstage.store\/products\/epiphone-1963-firebird-v-maestro-w-case-frost-blue","provider":"GearStage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
