Gibson Firebird Elite

Unique - Since 1963

With gold hardware on a truly stunning Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish the Gibson Firebird Elite will certainly result in the player standing out from the crowd. Bright mini-humbucking pickups on a solid mahogany body and 9 ply through body neck deliver tones which do these striking looks justice.
