The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird I is an authentic replica of the guitar designed by legendary automotive designer Ray Dietrich. This model delivers vintage Firebird specifications at an accessible price, featuring a 9-ply neck-through-body made of mahogany and walnut with mahogany body wings to either side. When it was launched in 1963, the Firebird was Gibson's first neck-through-body model, used by players including Johnny Winter, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Eric Clapton, and Phil Manzanera. The guitar features Kluson planetary geared banjo tuners at the headstock and a Wraparound Lightning Bar bridge that ensures exceptional sustain. The premium electronics include a Gibson USA Firebird mini humbucker pickup with Alnico 5 magnets, CTS potentiometers, a Mallory capacitor, and a Switchcraft 1/4 inch output jack, giving this recreation both the look and sound of a classic Firebird I.
