Description
This is a very rare & beautiful 2012 “The Firebird” Acoustic, a rare limited production Flat Top by the Custom Shop. The combination of Gibson’s traditional square-shoulder dreadnought body, coupled with the bright, crisp tone, its see-thru cherry stain over a beautifully quilted maple back and sides gives the Firebird a rich, balanced tone all its own. No less stunning in appearance, the mutha-o-pearl and abalone flame inlays in the bridge and fingerboard culminate in the headstock’s magnificent MOP and abalone phoenix rising from the flames. The body does show some scratches, small dings & some play time. Included is its 1st owners patriotic Red White & Blue guitar strap. Huge tone & stunning appearance, this will truly go up in time as 1 of their best models ever produced. It’s excellent overall & comes in its original hard case.
