~Guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive~

Epiphone has once again joined forces with Gibson Custom to introduce the Inspired by Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird I Reissue – a faithful recreation of the groundbreaking design by renowned automotive stylist Ray Dietrich. Originally unveiled in 1963, the Firebird™ marked Gibson’s first neck-through-body construction and quickly became a favorite among players across genres, including blues icon Johnny Winter, Keith Richards and Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music.

The latest Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird I Reissue brings classic Firebird details to a wider audience, now enhanced with a rosewood fretboard. It features a 9-ply neck-through-body crafted from mahogany and walnut, flanked by solid mahogany wings. The fretboard hosts 22 medium jumbo frets and understated mother-of-pearl dot inlays. At the headstock, Kluson® planetary geared “banjo” tuners ensure smooth tuning stability, complemented by a Graph Tech® nut and the Inspired by Gibson Double Diamond emblem on the back.

A Lightning Bar Wraparound bridge provides rock-solid performance and excellent sustain, with compensation for precise intonation. True to the minimalist spirit of the original 1963 Firebird I, the electronics are top-tier: a Gibson USA Firebird mini humbucker™ with Alnico 5 magnets, CTS® controls for master volume and tone, a Black Beauty paper-in-oil capacitor, and a Switchcraft® ¼-inch output jack deliver authentic tone and reliability. Each guitar ships with an Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom hardshell case for premium protection.

We are proud to include a full professional setup to factory spec before delivering your new Epiphone. Our world-class techs will dial in your instrument to make sure the playability is maximized!
