The Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird V Maestro Vibrola Light Aged in Cardinal Red is a faithful nod to the original offset icon built with neck-through construction for endless sustain and a tight even response. A 9-ply mahogany/walnut core Indian rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius and a comfy medium C profile make it feel fast and assured from the first chord. Firebird Alnico 5 mini humbuckers deliver that bright bite and immediate attack while the Murphy Lab Light Aged nitro finish brings real vintage character straight out of the case
Hardware is pure Golden Era: an ABR-1 bridge paired with a Maestro Vibrola for smooth expressive pitch work deluxe banjo tuners for rock-solid stability and a hand-wired loom with CTS pots and Black Beauty capacitors for classic responsive control. The 24.75" scale 22 authentic medium-jumbo frets and hot-stamped Firebird guard round out a stage-ready package that looks great on stage and records with clarity. Supplied in a Custom Shop hardshell case with a Certificate of Authenticity its a players Firebird with the feel tone and swagger that made 63 so special
