USED Gibson USA / Firebird V / Banjo Tuner Stoptail MOD 1990 Vintage Sunburst [12]

Firebird modified to stop tailpiece specifications.
Designed by Ray Dietrich, the genius car designer for General Motors, this Firebird has a thrilling form.
The serial number has been lost due to refinishing the back of the head when the neck breakage was corrected.
The year of manufacture is referenced to the front/rear tone pot date (R1379034).

Mahogany body with 9-piece mahogany/walnut through neck, rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets, mini humbucker pickups and banjo type pegs.

The bright, crisp, fat sound of the mini-humbuckers and the long sustain of the through-neck make this model a favorite among blues and rock players, as well as slide players.

The long Maestro vibrato roller unit is standard, but this model has been modified with a stop tailpiece for more stable tuning and a tighter sound.
The broken neck has been repaired, but it has been painted and repaired well, so there are no problems with its use as it is now.
There is a hole left from a Long Maestro Vibrola unit on the top of the body, and the back of the body has a hole filled in from a strap pin.
There are numerous scratches and dings scattered throughout, and the hardware is dull and the chrome is peeling.
The pickguard has been replaced with a non-original part, as there are no marks of firebird emblems on the pickguard.
The guitar has been maintained and cleaned at our repair center, and is in good playability condition.
The genuine hard case is missing and a generic soft case is included.
