1965 Gibson Firebird Non-Reverse, USED
The 1965 Gibson Firebird Non-Reverse is an iconic electric guitar that showcases Gibson's bold mid-60s design aesthetic.

The mahogany neck is crafted with a comfortable profile typical of mid-60s Gibson guitars, ensuring smooth playability. Topped with a rosewood fingerboard, it includes dot inlays and a 24.75-inch scale length, offering a familiar playing experience for Gibson enthusiasts. The set-neck construction enhances sustain and tonal clarity, while the meticulously crafted non-reverse design ensures a comfortable fit for players.
The 1965 Firebird Non-Reverse is equipped with Gibson's P90's, delivering a bright yet punchy tone that suits various genres, from blues to rock. The pickups are known for their articulate response and dynamic range, making the guitar a versatile tool for both lead and rhythm playing.
This classic model is a highly sought-after instrument, revered for its unique design and historical significance. Whether as a collector's piece or a working guitar, the 1965 Gibson Firebird Non-Reverse offers a blend of timeless style, exceptional craftsmanship, and a rich tonal palette that has earned its place in guitar history.
