Gibson’s second spin on it’s offset body design, the ’65 Non-Reverse Firebird V, created a whole new legend. Flipping the orientation of both the body and the neck, created a new look that players loved. And the AlNiCo V pickups had a bite and punch for a uniquely charming and subtly different voice. This reissue, from Gibson Custom, recreates the original body profiles and construction methods for an instrument that fully captures the looks, feel and sound of the original.

This '65 Non-Reverse Firebird V includes deluxe hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.

    These are awesome. I have played a regular firebird but they sound nothing like the sounds this puts out. The finish was amazing. After we did a setup it stays in tune perfect with the maestro. Most say guitars play like butter....well butter is sticky. This thing plays like ice. The sustain is out if this world. Even unplugged it is as loud as an acoustic. The tone control is wow just way more than I expected. I didn't think it could sound better than a Reverse but it does.
