Description

Excellent condition featuring reverse mahogany body, neck through body construction with mahogany wings, sunburst top finish, two mini-humbucking pickups with non-visible poles and metal pickup surrounds, multi-ply white elongated pickguard with red engraved Firebird logo and three way pickup selector switch mounted to the guard with white tip, two volume controls and two tone controls with gold reflector top knobs, tremolo tailpiece, wraparound lightning bolt bridge, mahogany neck, bound Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with pearloid inlays starting at the third fret, bone nut, reverse Firebird peghead with black center overlay and elongated black truss rod cover with gold Gibson logo, six in a line banjo tuners, serial number 217507 impressed into the back of the peghead, single ply black plastic electronics control cavity plate, two metal strap buttons, and original rectangular hard shell case.

This 1964 Gibson Firebird III is in excellent cosmetic condition showing signs of lacquer checking, a few dings around the edges and some scratches on the back of the instrument (see photos), but is otherwise in excellent vintage cosmetic condition. The original frets have been dressed and the guitar has been professionally set up. This guitar plays outstanding up and down the fingerboard. The original mini-humbucking pickups retain their original windings and sound fantastic. The bridge pickup delivers a raw biting tone and the neck pickup is clear and fat. The electronics are all original and have not been tampered with in any way. The switch tip and one strap button have been replaced. The original hard shell case is in overall very good condition, but the case handle is broken (see photos).

This Firebird III has been well cared for and has no cracks or breaks anywhere. It's just a super clean example of this model. Here at Mom and Dad‘s, we're happy to be able to offer this exceptionally fine guitar to a new owner who will surely enjoy this instrument for years to come. A gem of a guitar shipped out safely and promptly from our little shop here in Clarksville, Tennessee, to your front door.
