1964 Gibson Firebird III – Frost Blue

Well Strung Guitars

Description

At first glance, you’d think this Gibson Firebird III in Frost Blue was a reissue, but this piece has been completely original since the day it left the factory in 1964! Finding a Custom Color Reverse Firebird is always challenging, but to find one in Frost Blue and in this condition is nothing short of incredible. Thanks in part to the Firebird’s through-neck construction, each note makes the entire instrument vibrate loudly. The frets are in excellent condition, and the overall playability of this piece is incredible!
