Holy smokes folks, this is a truly deceptively gorgeous 1999 Firebird I. So the story with this guitar is that this is a one off, non production line custom built exact 1963 Firebird I replica. The guitar has been relic'd and aged by Gibson's legendary Tom Murphy and has various vintage 60's components which are detailed below. This guitar is a killer and has been thoroughly looked over and fully set up by our in house luthiers.
