Crafted at the venerable Fujigen factory concurrently with Gibson’s Orville line of instruments, this rare Greco faithfully captures the best qualities of Gibson's Firebird I model. Produced at the tail end of the Mint Collection series, a high point for Greco's vintage-spec offerings, The Firebird FB-60 features mahogany set neck construction with mahogany body wings and a rosewood fretboard, and this Greco has a natural acoustic resonance and midrange warmth. The mini humbucker is a faithful approximation of the original Gibson Firebird design, both tonally and in terms of output, metering at 7.44k ohms and delivering a growly, biting sound that takes gain notably well for fat, aggressive chords or ripping melodic leads. Featherweight at just 6lbs 8oz, this Greco has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.The mahogany neck has a moderately chunky C-shaped profile carve with generous shoulders and lightly rolled fretboard edges, measuring .850” deep at the 1st fret and .955” at the 12th. The rosewood fretboard features medium jumbo frets which have been leveled and crowned in this guitar’s lifetime, with plenty of meat and only a hint of wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-2. This Greco plays cleanly up the 24 3\/4“ scale with a straight neck and a responsive, optimally-adjusted truss rod. The nut measures 1 11\/16” in width, hand-carved from bone for optimal clarity and sustain. The truss rod cover has been replaced, and the original tuning machines turn smoothly and hold accurate pitch. The back of the headstock retains the inked serial number.All of the electronics function as intended, with untouched solder joints, Master Volume and Tone controls, and full-size Japanese pots that date to 1988. Plastics comprise the original pair of gold reflector knobs and the two-ply white pickguard. The wraparound bridge with compensated saddle shows light surface patina on the chrome plating.Cosmetic wear on the Sunburst gloss finish includes a number of minor dings on the body as a whole, as well as a limited area of buckle rash on the back central to the waist, and some requisite faint finish scratches in the clear coat. The neck profile retains its smooth gloss, with a few shallow marks and one ding on the bass-side shoulder at fret 7 that aren't distracting to the palm while fretting.A form-fit padded gigbag is included.","brand":"Greco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43728937353472,"sku":"F881195","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_2f5bb8e2-a1aa-467d-ad79-4976cd7899a2.jpg?v=1751560629","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/1988-greco-firebird-fb-60-mint-collection-vintage-electric-guitar-sunburst-japan-fujigen","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
