Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

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.
