1965 GibsonFirebird VII – Sunburst


This Non-Reverse 1965 Gibson Firebird VII is bright in Sunburst! We’ve just finished a whole blog post detailing NR Firebirds and the subtle changes in their appointments, so make sure to check that out here! This VII is highlighted in that post and is a beautiful and clean example of the model. This guitar features gold hardware in amazing condition, particularly that Deluxe Lyre Maestro tailpiece! It is completely original, including frets, and is still so well-preserved for its age. When plugged in, these guitars’ mini humbuckers provide a rich tone with a ton of versatility. Inside the original case, you will find a hang tag bearing this guitar’s serial number and information, as well as a set of three receipts for each payment the original owner made towards the guitar until it was paid in full.
