When it was launched in 1963, the Firebird™ was Gibson’s first neck-through-body model, and it went on to be used by players in a wide range of genres, including blues legend Johnny Winter, Keith Richards and Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music, to name a few.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe updated Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird I delivers vintage Firebird specifications at an accessible price, including a 9-ply neck-through-body made of mahogany and walnut with mahogany body wings to either side of the neck. This construction method results in the tuners, pickup, and bridge all being anchored into the same pieces of wood for exceptional resonance, sustain, and tonal transfer between them. The neck features a SlimTaper™ Rounded C profile with soft fretboard edges for a comfortable, played-in feel. The rosewood fretboard is adorned with mother-of-pearl dot inlays and equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets. Even the side dot position markers are the same size as on vintage Firebirds and placed in historically accurate locations. Kluson® planetary geared “banjo” tuners anchor the strings at the headstock and further add to the historic Firebird look, while a Wraparound Lightning Bar bridge holds things down at the other end and further reinforces the outstanding sustain. While in keeping with the vintage 1963 Firebird I’s stripped-down specifications, the electronics are also premium and include a Gibson USA Firebird mini humbucker™ pickup with Alnico 5 magnets. It is hand-wired to a pair of CTS® potentiometers, a Mallory™ tone capacitor, and a Switchcraft® 1\/4” output jack, giving this remarkable recreation not only the look but the sound of a classic Firebird I. The new Vintage Gloss finish adds to the vintage appeal. An Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom hardshell case is also included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlights\u003cbr\u003e9-ply mahogany\/walnut neck-through-body construction\u003cbr\u003eMahogany body wings\u003cbr\u003eKluson planetary geared \"banjo\" tuners\u003cbr\u003eRosewood fretboard with mother-of-pearl dot inlays\u003cbr\u003eGibson USA Firebird mini humbucker with alnico 5 magnets\u003cbr\u003eHardshell case with Inspired by Gibson Custom logo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody Specs\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish Vintage Gloss\u003cbr\u003eBody Material Mahogany (Wings)\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape Firebird\u003cbr\u003eBody Styles Firebird\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Specs\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius 304.8mm \/ 12.0in\u003cbr\u003eFret Count 22\u003cbr\u003eFrets Medium Jumbo\u003cbr\u003eInlays Mother of Pearl Dot\u003cbr\u003eJoint Neck-Through-Body Construction\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material 9-ply Mahogany\/Walnut\u003cbr\u003eNut Material Graph Tech\u003cbr\u003eNut Width 43.0mm \/ 1.69in\u003cbr\u003eProfile 1963 Firebird\u003cbr\u003eScale Length 628.65mm \/ 24.75in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics Specs\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup Gibson USA Firebird Mini Humbucker with Alnico 5 Magnets\u003cbr\u003eControls Master Volume, Master Tone, Hand-wired with CTS Potentiometers and a Mallory Capacitor\u003cbr\u003eOutput Jack 1\/4\" Switchcraft\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware Specs\u003cbr\u003eBridge Wraparound Lightning Bar\u003cbr\u003eControl Covers Black with Silver Inspired by Gibson Custom Logo Hotstamp\u003cbr\u003eControl Knobs Black Top Hat with Reflector\u003cbr\u003eFinish Nickel\u003cbr\u003eMounting Rings Nickel\u003cbr\u003ePickguard 3-ply White; Firebird Logo Hotstamp in Red\u003cbr\u003ePickup Covers Nickel\u003cbr\u003eStrap Buttons 3 - Bottom, Shoulder, and Neck Heel - Historic Firebird Strap Button Placement Locations\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod Dual Action\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod Cover Single Ply Black with Epiphone Logo in Gold\u003cbr\u003eTuner Plating Nickel\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines Kluson Banjo-style Planetary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMisc Specs\u003cbr\u003eCase Inspired by Gibson Custom Hardshell\u003cbr\u003eModel: ECFIR3CRNH1\u003cbr\u003eHeadstock Inlay Modern Epiphone Logo in Gold (on Truss Rod Cover)\u003cbr\u003eStrings Gauge .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146653351983,"sku":"25121528759","price":1299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/2875\/9855\/files\/DSC_0043_b5cd242f-3ad8-4898-8dc2-e515c1072fdb.jpg?v=1794239902","url":"https:\/\/fullersguitar.com\/products\/epiphone-igc-1963-firebird-i-reissue-cherry-w-hardshell-case","provider":"Fuller's Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
