Description
The Epiphone '63 Firebird V Electric Guitar boasts a design that mirrors the shape of the original 1963 Firebird, featuring a 9-ply mahogany/walnut neck-through construction complemented by solid mahogany wings. Around the perimeter of its body, the Firebird features a single-ply cream binding.
The neck of the Epiphone '63 Firebird V is cut from a blend of mahogany and walnut, topped with a smooth Indian laurel fingerboard featuring mother of pearl trapezoid inlays, and 22 Medium Jumbo frets. The headstock is adorned with Kluson "banjo-style" planetary tuning machines.
At the heart of the Epiphone '63 Firebird V are two Gibson USA Firebird Mini Humbuckers with Alnico 5 magnets, designed to replicate the iconic tones of the original '63 Firebird. These pickups deliver a harmonically rich sound with remarkable clarity and definition, perfect for capturing the essence of vintage instruments. Controlled by hand-wired CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors, the versatility of this instrument is what brings it into the tweny-first century.
Hardware features are specifically chosen to complement the vintage-inspired design of this instrument. Anchoring the strings is an Epiphone ABR bridge, while the newly redesigned Maestro Vibrola adds a touch of expressive flair to playing. Finished in nickel, every detail of the hardware exudes quality and durability.
Finished in a gorgeous Ember Red hue, the Epiphone '63 Firebird V stands out as a true statement piece. Paired with a 3-ply white pickguard featuring the iconic Firebird logo hot-stamped in red, this instrument exudes vintage aesthetic appeal with a modern twist. Each guitar comes complete with an Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom hardshell case.
