Axe Asylum
1964 Gibson Firebird I Electric Guitar - Sunburst
$10,800
$18,000
Beautiful, really well kept 1964 Firebird I! This second year example, serial number 242769, is somewhat of a transitional model having 6 inline Kluson machines as opposed to the the much more common banjo style machines. The cavity and pickup are original, pots dating to the 33rd week of 1963, and there are no repairs or notable to damage to mention. This Firebird has one of the most beautifully grained Brazilian boards we've seen on any guitar in some time giving this guitar great character. Plays and sounds amazing without issue and really is just a fantastic guitar all the way around. Comes complete with original hardshell case. Please email or call for additional info.
