Epiphone Firebird
Finish: Vintage Sunburst

EPIPHONE INSPIRED BY GIBSON FIREBIRD VINTAGE SUNBURST (EIFBVSNH1)

Rock With This Fiery 1963 Classic
Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson Firebird™ rocks a reverse body and headstock design as originally introduced in 1963 and was Gibson’s first neck-through-body design.

The traditional 9-ply mahogany/walnut neck-through-body provides rich, warm tonality and incredible sustain.

A SlimTaper™ neck with a bound, Indian laurel fingerboard and acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlays offers fast and effortless playability.

The newly refreshed Firebird is outfitted with a set of ProBucker™ FB720 pickups to recapture the scorching output and searing tones of the original voice for which the Firebird is known, and Grover® 18:1 ratio mini tuners.

Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Original models feature a rolled neck for a comfortable feel, GraphTech® NuBone® nut, era-appropriate wiring, and CTS® pots.
