Description
The Firebird V was produced from 1963 to 1969. This is a non-reverse model that was produced for a short period from mid-1965. The serial number is 500689, and it was made in 1966.
The body/neck is made of mahogany, and the fingerboard is rosewood. There is plenty of room for the truss rod. It also has a long vibratola, which gives it a very cool look.
The pickups are two original sticker numbered mini humbuckers. The bright, crisp, and fat sound unique to mini humbuckers is attractive. The long sustain is very compatible with slide play, and it is also popular among blues and rock players.
The POT DATE is 137-653X x 2, and the other POTs are hidden by the solder and cannot be judged, but based on the overall judgment, we have determined that they are original POTs. Of course, the capacitor is also original. The selector is also original and is a slide type that was used in the early models.
One side dot above the 12th fret has been repaired.
There are some cracks in the pickguard, but there are no problems at present. As for the condition, it is original including the nut and frets. There is a slight contact failure (occasionally) on the slide switch, but we have not replaced it in order to prioritize the originality. *We can also exchange it for you, so please contact us.
There are other scratches and dents appropriate for the age, but the playing condition is good.
The Firebird is popular with many enthusiasts and fans due to its stylish design. The hard case is also original and is a very original individual. Please consider this opportunity as a lifelong partner.
