Gibson Custom 1965 Non-Reverse Firebird V 12-String Reissue Electric Guitar Aqua Mist

The Gibson 1965 Non-Reverse Firebird V 12-String Reissue electric guitar brings back the iconic '60s model with modern enhancements for today's player. Its solid mahogany body and neck provide a warm, balanced tone, while the authentic reissue of Gibson's Maestro Vibrola tailpiece adds shimmering resonance. The Firebird's distinctive offset double-cutaway shape is striking yet ergonomic, letting you play comfortably for hours. Iconic Non-Reverse Body with Enhanced Playability The Non-Reverse Firebird V body is an icon of the mid-'60s rock scene. Its offset shape and reverse headstock are instantly recognizable. Gibson Custom Shop expertly recreated the body with solid mahogany for resonance and sustain. While vintage-accurate, the neck has a full 1.6875" width for modern playability. The slim taper neck profile feels fast and comfortable. The authentic mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard provide a smooth playing experience reminiscent of the '60s original. Firebird Mini-Humbuckers Deliver Classic Tone This guitar features a pair of Firebird Mini-Humbuckers with Alnico magnets, like the original. The mini-humbuckers provide the perfect 12-string electric tone—chiming treble, rich midrange and tight bass. Expect articulate note separation even with full 12-string chords. Paired with the mahogany body, these pickups convey a bold, balanced tone for Beatles-esque jangle or your own signature sound. They make this guitar highly responsive to your pick attack for a dynamic range of tones. Fast, versatile vibrato The Maestro Vibrola tailpiece reissue gives you a range of shimmering vibrato effects with its smoothly responsive action. Add subtle pitch modulation to chords and solos or more dramatic warbles with the turn of its handle. With the Vibrola's versatility, you can emulate the playing styles of classic rock and pop artists or forge your own signature sound. Vintage-Correct Specs and Components From top to bottom, this guitar is loaded with vintage-style parts that shape its tone and feel. It has an unbound rosewood fingerboard, trapezoid inlays and a 17-degree headstock pitch for ideal string tension. The Firebird Mini Humbuckers provide articulate chime and clarity. They're wired to CTS potentiometers and an orange drop capacitor, just like vintage Gibsons. The tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece anchor the strings and transfer string energy into the body.
