A reverse body and headstock are the only things backward in this forward thinking guitar. A true tone machine originally introduced in 1963, the new 2019 Gibson Firebird has the traditional 9-ply mahogany/walnut neck through body construction which provides the rich, warm tonality and classic sustain you associate with a Gibson. The slim taper neck features a bound rosewood fingerboard with acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlays. Available in 2 classic finishes: Vintage Sunburst and Cardinal Red.
