What We Think

From Gibson's "High Performance" series, we have a stunning Pelham Blue Firebird in absolutely excellent condition. Everything about the build, woods, and components on this instrument amount to one word, warmth! The neck-thru design, rosewood fingerboard, and Mini-humbuckers make for absolutely singing sustain, and that creamy, rich tonality we love from these solid Mahogany Gibsons.

About Manufacturer

Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
