Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird V Vibrola Electric Guitar, Ember Red with Case (pre-owned)

Iconic Shape, Legendary Voice.

Some guitars blend into the background. The Firebird never has. With its striking reverse body design, neck-through construction and unmistakable mini humbucker bite, the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird V captures one of the most distinctive electric guitar designs ever produced.

Finished in stunning Ember Red and supplied with its original hard case, this model faithfully recreates the spirit of the early ‘60s original while delivering the reliability and playability modern players demand. The neck feels fast and effortless, while the pair of Firebird mini humbuckers offer exceptional clarity, punch and articulation. Whether you’re chasing vintage rock tones, bluesy grit or crisp clean sounds, this guitar delivers with authority.

This example is in excellent condition throughout. The frets show no wear, the hardware displays only minimal tarnishing and there are just a few light signs of handling in the form of slight finish swirling and gentle surface marks from normal use. It presents beautifully and has clearly been well cared for.

A faithful recreation of one of Gibson’s most daring designs, this Firebird V offers vintage looks, inspiring tones and outstanding build quality in a package that’s every bit as exciting to play as it is to look at.
