1965 GibsonFirebird I – Ember Red


This gorgeous 1965 Gibson Firebird I (non-reverse) comes in its rare, original Ember Red finish! This guitar features two screaming P-90 pickups, a short Maestro Vibrola, and a comfortable, Full C neck shape. There is undoubtedly a vibe to this guitar, as this original finish features fine weather checking, playwear, and smoky patina. All components are original on this guitar, including this case. A few of these non-reverse Firebird cases came with this red plaid lining, gaining the “Bay City Rollers” nickname due to the band’s heavy use of the pattern. It adds a fun bit of character to this package, and looks particularly great with the Ember Red finish!
