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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile 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\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9-ply mahogany\/walnut neck-through-body construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany body wings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKluson planetary geared \"banjo\" tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood fretboard with mother-of-pearl dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibson USA Firebird mini humbucker with alnico 5 magnets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardshell case with Inspired by Gibson Custom logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Firebird\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Firebird\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany Wings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9-Ply Mahogany\/Walnut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1963 Firebird\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neck-Through-Body\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304.8 mm \/ 12\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlays:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mother-of-Pearl Dot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 628.65 mm \/ 24.75\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFret Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium Jumbo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Graph Tech\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43.0 mm \/ 1.69\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gibson USA Firebird Mini Humbucker with Alnico 5 Magnets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Master Volume, Master Tone;
