Fired up Since ’63

When Gibson hired famed automotive designer Ray Dietrich to create a radical new solid body guitar, rock ‘n roll history ensued. With its offset shape, neck-through construction, and scorching mini-humbuckers™, the ’63 Firebird™ V became an instant classic. The Gibson Custom Shop is proud to present this exacting replica of a vintage original, which uses authentic contours, dimensions and construction methods for an incredible ownership and playing experience. It features Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of natural play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.
