Created by legendary automotive designer (and visionary) Ray Dietrich, the 1963 Firebirds literally reversed conventional concepts for guitar bodies and headstocks. You can bet heads turned when any guitar player took to the stage with one of these unusual instruments strapped on. Players like Eric Clapton, Johnny Winter and Ray Manzanera (Roxy Music) found their combination of looks and sound to be perfect for their needs (though, of course, Clapton played many Gibsons through the years). The top-of-the-line Firebird VII features mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays that place it among the ranks of Gibson's most prestigious models. Gibson Firebird VII at a Glance: Mahogany "inverse" solidbody in Red metallic finish with Lyre Vibrola tailpiece Three high output ceramic magnet, gold-plated mini-humbuckers Mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard and real mother-of-pearl block inlays And They Called Gibson "Conservative". . . Nobody is lukewarm when it comes to the Gibson Firebirds. |
