If you love the 1959 Les Paul Standard Neck Carve you are going to love this Bird. Being a Bird Head I can honestly say this is The Best Bird I have ever had the honor to be the temporary Stuart of. This Bird is a real treat.
2009 Gibson Custom Shop Firebird I with a 1959 Les Paul STD Neck Carve and then Refinished to the Correct 1963 Burst by Tom Murphy. The instrument was not built this way but sent back to Gibson for the work to be performed in 2010. The control cover is signed and dated by Tom Murphy. I have paperwork from Fretted America Authenticating the instrument through Gibson.
It weighs 7 Lbs. 3.1 oz's. The neck is straight and true with a fully functional truss rod. The fret wire shows no wear to speak of. I'm guessing the pickup is an Alnico Magnet. It sounds way too good to be ceramic like most production line Birds. The tuners are original and is the pickup. We did touch up some solder joints. The bridge is a Tone Pros. There are various scratches on the instrument. I am uncertain if they were done at the factory or in the ownership of someone else. None are structural. Original Case and all paperwork included.
