1978 Gibson Firebird V Bicentennial Vintage
100%
These guitars were manufactured 1976 - 1978 with total production numbers only in the hundreds - this is an exceptional example and a guitar that will continue to increase in value.
The mini hums (alnico not ceramic) are thick & full sounding and along with the reverse headstock yield a rich harmonic that you can't get from any other guitar. These are very unique sounding instruments & will blow you away.
Every collection needs a Firebird and the Bicentennial's are known for superior build and sonics compared to the production birds of the same era.
