Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird V Maestro Vibrola VOS Vintage Sunburst #503843

The Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird V Maestro Vibrola VOS is a faithful revival of a radical classic built to capture the feel and swagger of the original. Its neck-through 9-ply mahogany/walnut construction and layered mahogany wings give a piano-like sustain and snap while the Nitrocellulose VOS finish brings a gently aged patina. A 60s SlimTaper C profile sits naturally in the hand and the Indian rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius and medium-jumbo frets keeps chords tidy and bends smooth across all 22 frets. Deluxe banjo tuners nylon nut and an ABR-1 bridge complete the classic Firebird recipe with rock-solid stability and vintage accuracy

Firebird Alnico V mini-humbuckers deliver the models signature voice: bright focused attack with airy highs tight lows and a punchy midrange that cuts without harshness. Roll the hand-wired CTS volumes and tones for glassy jangle or push the amp for snarling leads that still stay articulate. The Maestro Vibrola adds shimmer and subtle vibrato without tuning issues and Switchcraft switching ensures dependable performance night after night. Finished with the iconic hot-stamped pickguard and supplied with a Custom Shop hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity this Firebird is ready to take centre stage and do what its done since 63: turn heads and light up the room
