Gibson Firebird V Electric Guitar - Near Mint! - 1990

Item Description - 1990 Gibson Firebird V Electric Guitar – Mahogany!

There is no mistaking a Firebird V—with its unique "reversed" zig-zag body design and equally distinct headstock, it is simply one of the most recognizable of all guitar profiles. First introduced in 1963, the Gibson Firebird was the brainchild of legendary automotive designer and visionary Ray Dietrich (Lincoln, Packard), enlisted by Gibson to bolster the guitar lines of the early '60s and help solidify the company's eminent rank among solidbody electric guitar manufacturers. Dietrich's unconventional design was based loosely on both the legendary automobile tailfins of the 1950s and the Gibson Explorer, which had been introduced several years earlier.

Case

The original Gibson hardshell case shown in the pictures below is included. It’s a little nicked up but still works great. The lock combination has still not been set and has the plastic guide through it!

Condition

This sweet Firebird is near mint and 20 years later is as beautiful as the day it was new! The serial number indicates she was built in 1990. I bought this several years ago from a guy who won it in a contest, stuck it in a closet and never played it. I have played it about 20 times but it looks like new! I still have all the original paperwork which is included. The only thing that keeps this from being mint is tiny cracks in the binding at the ends of each fret. This is by far the nicest 20 year old guitar I have ever seen!
