2008 Gibson Johnny Winter Signature Firebird V (1963 Reissue) Tobacco Sunburst, Mint, Original Hard, $5,995.00
This is the limited run of 100 by the Gibson Custom Shop in 2008. This particular example weighs less than 8 lbs: 7.95 lbs. Most of these were greater than 8 lbs. This guitar also has a low serial # : 009.
This Johnny Winter V is an investment grade example, having no wear. It was purchased by one of my Left Handed clients as an investment and stored immediately. This is the cleanest and most complete 2008 Johnny Winter V on the planet!
Model Description:
Gibson's Limited Edition Johnny Winter Firebird V is a part of Gibson's "Inspired By Series," paying its tribute to one of the meanest and most spellbinding slide guitarists.
For years, Winter has relied on just one guitar - his Gibson Firbird V. This particular Limited Edition Johnny Winter Firebird V is a painstaking recreation of Winter's own - and the attention to detail pays off in the end result. Not just great-looking, this instrument has a lot of character - complete with a vintage sunburst finish, ABR-1 Bridge and heavy stop-bar tailpiece and signature Banjo tuners.
