1981 Gibson Firebird - Cherry - Vintage / USED!
1981 Gibson Firebird
Vintage Electric Guitar
Made in the USA!
Used! Just in on Consignment!
Used! Just in on consignment from one of our long-time regular collector/clients. This Gibson Firebird was made in the USA in 1981. From what I can tell, it’s basically the same spec as the Firebird ’76 Bicentennial model made between 1976 – 1979. The condition is very good without any serious issues, damage, repairs, or modifications. It does have some dings, oxidation, and other signs of use consistent with a played, but well-cared-for instrument that is nearly 50 years old.
Here is some additional information from Gibson: "Conceived amid the chrome and tailfins of the Motor City, forged on the workbenches of Kalamazoo, proven on rock and blues stages around the globe, the Gibson Firebird was one of the most radical instruments the world had ever experience when it hit the scene in 1963, and it's still a guaranteed head-turner today. The Firebird was the brainchild of legendary automotive designer and visionary Ray Dietrich (designer of classic Lincoln and Packard cars), enlisted by Gibson to bolster the guitar lines of the early '60s and help solidify the company's eminent rank among solid body electric guitar manufacturers.
Dietrich's unconventional design was based loosely on both the legendary automobile tailfins of the 1950s, with a touch of the radical look of the Gibson Explorer, introduced five years earlier. Built precisely in the image of this icon, the Gibson Firebird, with its classic "reverse-body" styling and reverse six-in-line "hawk's head" headstock, strikes a pose that remains truly unique.
With its nitrocellulose finish and traditional appointments, such as the two tiered headstock with black central section, and Firebird pickguard motif, the Gibson Firebird is an iconic American instrument design. Like all our used / vintage gear this vintage 1981 Gibson Firebird has been tested for functionality and priced to move. Sold as-is. What you see is what you get.
