1966 GibsonFirebird III – Black


What’s better than a 1966 Firebird III? Maybe a factory Black one?? Sign us up! In all seriousness, this Non-Reverse Firebird is genuinely one of the coolest ones we’ve come across (maybe rivaled by its matching factory black reverse Firebird we’ve got too!). Do yourself a favor and check out the photos of that finish close-up; the checking on this guitar is so cool! Of all of Gibson’s custom colors, factory black may be one of the rarest yet most sought-after by players and collectors alike. This is one of the better-playing Firebirds we have in the store right now, definitely one we tend to pick up and show to someone if they come in asking about Firebirds!
