Gibson Firebird T Vintage Sunburst 2017 Electric Guitar

Here for sale we have a Gibson Firebird T in Vintage Sunburst finish. Built in the USA in 2017, this guitar features neck through construction comprising a reverse style multi ply Mahogany​/​Walnut neck-through-body with Mahogany wings and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard adorned with trapezoid inlays. Other features include a reverse style headstock with Steinberger Gearless machine heads, a Tektoid nut and Tune-O-Matic Bridge and Stop Bar . Equipped in this guitar are a pair of Gibson 495R and 495T mini humbucking pickups, wired to a 3 way pickup selector toggle switch The 9-piece Mahogany and Walnut neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the Firebird SlimTaper profile feeling slender, providing a smooth and articulate playing experience, whilst promoting ergonomic thumb positioning. The Rosewood fingerboard feels pleasant under the fingers and provides a smooth playing surface for the user to explore, along with the 12” radius and Medium Jumbo frets making bending and vibrato techniques a breeze. The Firebird body design feels great in the arms, comfortably resting against the body and feeling spritely in standing position. The Gibson 495R mini humbucker in the neck position sounds thick and full, with a rich low end great for rhythm tonalities. The middle position provides a punchy, tight midrange great for chordal styles of playing whilst being able to cut through a mix. The Gibson 495T mini humbucker in the bridge position produces a clear and articulate top end, balancing very well with a punchy output, providing a great feel and clarity, allowing the player to achieve a wide variety of tones all at the fingertips.

Our ID: 1010825122121 Weight: 7.15lbs Serial: 170062067 Aesthetic Condition: Headstock: Overall very good condition. All aspects of the headstock display light to mild chipping of the finish, the most noticeable of these can be seen on the treble side edge front face which exposes the wood beneath. Light to mild scratching is present to the front face, these can be seen under direct light. Lacquer checking is visible to the rear of the headstock. Neck: Overall very good condition. Light indentations are present across the rear of the neck none of which exposes the wood. The most noticeable of these can be seen at the 6th and 11th frets, these can be felt in the playing position. Any markings to the fingerboard are difficult to discern. Body: Overall good condition. The front face demonstrates indentation and chipping of the finish, most notably towards the bass side of both the upper and lower bouts. A moderate chip to the bass side waist and bass side lower bout edges have had an amateur finish repair performed, which has scratching and indentation surrounding it likely from attempted clean-up. Particularly to the bass side waist, the scratching and excess glue from attempted clean-up has worsened the marking. The bass side waist demonstrates a slightly better attempt, leaving no wood revealed but still considerable scratching surrounding the repair. Further chipping is apparent around the perimeter of the body, revealing the wood beneath in several places. The rear face demonstrates moderate scratching and indentation particularly beside the top strap button where circular scratching and indentation pierces the finish. Condition of Frets: The frets demonstrate mild signs of use, not affecting playability. Denting and flattening of the frets is apparent throughout the register. There is moderate material remaining for any fret work the new owner may wish to perform. Current Set Up: Truss Rod: Fully functional. Truss rod tool (5​/​16" socket) not included. Hardware: Overall very good condition. Light to mild scratching can be seen to the truss rod cover and pick guard, these can be seen under direct light.
