USED Gibson / Firebird V Mod Classic White 1991 [10]

A white Firebird from 1991 with a retrofitted Maestro Vibrola!

Aging has been applied to the lower-left corner of the top of the body to conceal a large sticker mark. There is weather checking on the top of the body and around the knobs, and while there is some wear from use, it has a cool, authentic look befitting its age.
There are circular sticker marks on the upper and lower parts of the body back, which have been left as-is. There are also buckle scratches, but these similarly add to the character and look cool. The body sides show general dents, scuffs, and paint chipping. There are weather cracks on the back of the neck around the nut and near the joint, and the clear coat has thinned near the 12th fret on the 6th string side—which also looks cool. Additionally, there are general marks on the back of the neck where accessories have rubbed against it, but this won’t be an issue for vintage-style players.On the back of the headstock, around the tuning pegs, there are marks where peg grease has seeped out due to aging. There are also scuffs and weather checking around the headstock. Furthermore, the back of the headstock is stamped with “Promotional Not For Resale.” As the name suggests, it was intended for promotional use. The nut and frets have been replaced.
A Maestro Vibrola has been retrofitted, and the tailpiece anchor holes remain as-is. Perhaps because the player disliked the vibration it caused, four screws have been driven into the ball end, rendering the tremolo arm inoperable in its current state.Additionally, the screw at the tremolo arm pivot point is bent—possibly from the arm being forced—and the arm wobbles slightly when loosened by turning it counterclockwise. Please rest assured that as long as the arm is tightened, this is not noticeable at all. Both volume pots have been replaced, as has the volume knob on the neck side. One of the pickguard mounting screws has also been replaced. There are signs that the internal wiring has been tampered with in various places, but it functions without issue.

The neck is in good condition, and there is still plenty of play in the truss rod in both the tightening and loosening directions. There are no noticeable string marks on the frets, and about 80% of the original frets remain. The current string action is set to approximately 2.0 mm on the 6th string at the 12th fret and approximately 1.5 mm on the 1st string at the 12th fret.

Overall, while there are sticker marks and a Maestro Vibrola (which is currently inoperable) that was added later, the guitar has a fantastic look and is simply cool.
