The Gibson Firebird Platypus is a striking tribute to one of Gibsons rare transitional models from the mid-60s. With its mahogany body and glued-in neck it captures the look of a neck-through design and delivers the sustain and resonance players love. The SlimTaper neck profile makes for a smooth and comfortable playing feel paired with a rosewood fingerboard that features 22 medium jumbo frets and classic trapezoid inlays. Its unique Platypus-style headstock adds to the vintage aesthetic and has been tweaked for straight string pull helping tuning stay rock solid under your fingers.
Two historically accurate Firebird mini humbuckers loaded with Alnico 5 magnets provide a voice thats as distinctive as the guitars silhouette. Expect bell-like chime on clean passages and gritty articulate bite when you push the amp harder. Finished with vintage-style hardware including a Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece and Grover tuners this guitar blends vintage looks with modern stability. Complete with a Gibson hardshell case its a bold reimagining of an already legendary design.
