Epiphone 1963 Firebird I Electric Guitar – Cardinal Red

Description

Soar with Single-pickup Simplicity

Inspired by the Gibson Firebird’s single-pickup variation launched in 1963, the Epiphone 1963 Firebird I is a rock-ready 6-string that’s sure to set your playing alight with old-school attitude. In classic Firebird fashion, this guitar’s body boasts an incredibly resonant and sustain-packed 9-piece mahogany/walnut neck-through construction, along with lightweight mahogany wings. A fire-breathing Gibson USA-made Firebird pickup in the bridge position delivers a surprisingly versatile array of tones to explore thanks to its seamless cross of humbucking depth and single-coil articulation. And much in the same vein as Gibson’s legendary “Jr.” models of the 1950s and 1960s, the Firebird I’s unbound rosewood fingerboard and 1-piece wraparound Lightning Bar bridge harbor a no-nonsense, utilitarian edge for plug-and-play simplicity. Lastly, vintage-correct Kluson banjo-style planetary tuners and a swooping matched and painted headstock (literally) top it all off. Take the Firebird’s most raw and ripping iteration into your own talons with the unabashedly vintage-inspired Epiphone 1963 Firebird I!
