	Gibson Firebird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gibson had success with the Les Paul in the 1950s, but their other releases (Flying V and Explorer) were failures.
		It was the first Gibson solid-body to use neck-through construction, wherein the neck extended to the tail end of the body, to which extension pieces or "wings" were attached.
		The Firebird line of guitars had four guitar models and one bass model, the latter known as the Thunderbird.

		To that end, the Firebird Studio has a body shape that is similar to the original model, but it features a set neck, full-sized humbuckers, mini Grover tuners and a stop tailpiece, making it look like a cross between an SG Standard and a Firebird.
		With its Gibson 490R (neck) and 498T (bridge) Alnico humbucking pickups, the guitar delivers an ample midrange punch that places it tonally in the territory between an SG and Les Paul, which is not a bad place to be.
		The Firebird Studio is the perfect guitar for players who want a more radical look than a Les Paul or SG deliver, yet desire an approximation of the sound and feel of those classics.

		He switched to a single pick-up Gibson Firebird I during the Spring of 1968 and then switched between the Firebird and a Gibson ES-335 "block" guitar for the remainder of Cream and for Cream's farewell concert.
		I am the proud owner of a '63 Firebird I. Having researched it by way of it's serial number, I've learned that mine is one of just 80 model I's shipped in '63; it is one of the earliest of that lot, also, as it bears no logo on the pickguard.

		The Gibson Firebird in photo 8 is a limited production 1976 Firebird, which was made to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the U.S.A., is mounted with a Kahler #2200B tremolo.
		While it looks similar to a vintage Firebird III, there is no binding on the fingerboard and the quickest way to tell them apart is by the colouring of the Firebird mark on the pick guard.
		However, we know that he ordered up more from Gibson as the tour progressed and was later seen with a White Firebird, another fl Les Paul Custom with Gold hardware, a white W-neck fitted with the Kahler Tremolo system and he used a Fender Stratocaster on occasion.

		Then, in 1963 came the Firebird, which was created by Ray Dietrich, who was actually an automotive designer (and some say the inventor of the "tail fin").
		Since the Firebird was so far off the beaten path already, the decision was made to use the company's mini-humbuckers, which were later used on the Les Paul Deluxe.
		Beyond that, the controls were pure Gibson, with two volume and two tone controls along with a three-way pickup selector.

		Notes: The non-reverse Firebird was introduced in 1965 and produced for just four years until it was discontinued in 1969.
		Often reissued in the decades since, the Firebird remains one of Gibson's most distinctive body designs.
		One of Gibson's most dramatic design statements ever, and one of the great blues axes of the 60's, the Firebird has demonstrated an appeal that's far outlasted it's brief tenure in the Gibson catalog.

		Though this run of Firebirds has always been less popular than the original run, they are nonetheless great Gibson guitars, ooze rock ‘n’ roll tone, and are a bit of a best kept secret.
		This has been expertly braced and glued and is as strong as a rock now, nothing to worry about particularly, but one of the reasons this is such a bargain.
		These Firebirds are actually tougher and tougher to find, and are catching on as people realise their rock ‘n’ roll nature - put it through a good tube amp and its natural resonance, coupled with some of the highest output P90s we’ve ever heard, mean this has classic rock stamped all over it.

		Otherwise, other than the Gibson Les Paul recording models (I have 3 of these), it is the closest to the Strat (if you want it to be).
