Up for sale, a 2000 Gibson Custom Shop Firebird VII in excellent condition and in perfect working order, featuring an Iguana Burst metalflake sparkle nitro lacquer finish. Ostensibly a one-off Custom Shop instrument, this Firebird is faithful to the model's 1963-64 specifications, boasting vintage spec 'banjo' tuners and a long frame Maestro Lyre Vibrola.
This Firebird features 9-ply mahogany/walnut neck through construction, with mahogany body wings and an ebony fingerboard. Acoustically this Firebird delivers foundational warmth and growl with a glassy treble cut, and te trio of Firebird pickups are wound particularly hot, with a distinct tonal character that sets them apart from a traditional mini humbucker. For authoritative, cutting cleans or saturated overdriven roar, these pickups achieve a range of tones applicable to a wide swath of genres. Weighing 8lbs 6oz, this Custom Shop Firebird VII benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.

The Iguana Burst nitro lacquer metalflake finish has great dimension and depth, exhibiting some pick wear into the sparkle just north of the middle pickup, and two small spots of touch-up on the treble-side edge of the headstock. Cosmetic wear is otherwise limited to light finish checking on either side of the nut, a couple small dings on the body perimeter, and a few light scuffs in the clear coat central to the lower bout on the back. The gloss finish on the neck profile is flawless.
The original brown tolex Gibson USA hardshell case with pink plush interior is included.
