Up for sale, a 2002 Gibson Firebird VII in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. This well-kept Firebird VII boasts 9-ply mahogany/walnut neck-through construction, a gloss Copper custom color nitro lacquer finish, an ebony fingerboard, a trio of Firebird hot mini humbuckers, and a Maestro Vibrola. This particular Firebird VII was ordered by Gibson’s Japanese distributor Yamano; Gibson’s USA-made guitars distributed via Yamano are often considered to be among their absolute best, featuring the highest quality woods picked for Gibson’s discerning Japanese audience.
Acoustically, this Firebird delivers foundational warmth and growl with a glassy treble cut, and the trio of Firebird pickups are wound 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, with vital, distinct sounds at each position on the three-way pickup selector switch. This Firebird VII weighs 9lbs 4oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
