2017 Gibson Firebird V - Pelham Blue
2017 Gibson Firebird V - Pelham Blue w/ Added Maestro Vibrola & Upgrades
Body: Up for sale is a stunning 2017 Gibson Firebird V in a beautiful Pelham Blue finish. This particular bird has been tastefully upgraded to capture the iconic look and feel of the mid-60s reverse-body classics.
The most notable addition is the Maestro Tremolo (Vibrola) system, which not only provides that smooth, subtle pitch modulation but also adds the visual weight and sustain characteristic of the highest-trim vintage models. To complete the aesthetic, the original knobs have been swapped for Gold Reflectors with position markers (aka "thumb bleeders"), giving it a refined, "Custom Shop" look that pops against the Pelham Blue.
Key Specs & Features:
- Body & Neck: Classic mahogany/walnut neck-through construction for incredible sustain and stability.
- Pickups: Original Gibson 495R and 495T Mini-Humbuckers—these provide that signature Firebird bite that sits perfectly between a single-coil and a full-sized humbucker.
- Neck Profile: SlimTaper profile that is fast, comfortable, and consistent across the board.
- Hardware: Added Maestro Vibrola tailpiece and Gold Reflector knobs; original Grover tuners provide rock-solid tuning.
- Condition: Excellent condition with no visible wear
- Weight: 9 lbs.
- Case: Includes a non-original hardshell case
This is a "best of both worlds" Firebird—modern 2017 build quality and playability with the timeless aesthetic of a '63 or '64. Ready for the stage or the studio.
