Only one owner, very early 65' example, extremely rare piece. Serial # 350663\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLadies and Gentleman I present the opportunity to own an extremely rare example of a first year Gibson Firebird V non-reverse from 1965. This piece is a very beautiful example of Gibsons transition year in 1965 which saw the end of the reverse firebirds and the introduction of non-revere firebirds. This piece still has the early 60's firebird pickups which has its alnico bar magnet seated within the pickup coils. The later firebird features p90's and some had gibson mini humbuckers, this piece has pots dating to april 65' and thus has 64\/65 electronics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has never been in the market and was purchased brand new by its original owner who was a guitar instructor. The piece has absolutely perfect lacquer checking and is really a desert island piece that sounds an plays absolutely amazing. Its an extremely rare find as these original pieces do not show up often in this kind of condition. Every single piece is original down to the screw and case. The action is low and smooth and frets are great. The early 60's firebird pickups are extremely punchy, and the bridge crackles and screams under gain, these are extremely articulate pickups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is some wear around the edges of the instrument, for a 60 year old guitar it is in amazing condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe only issue i have found is that the original selector switch is scratchy, its the same kind of switch found on fender mustangs and duo-sonics and are known to be annoying. But the rest of the electronics are absolutely perfect and the pots have no scratching at all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gilded Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45265587437759,"sku":null,"price":7500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/0909\/4847\/files\/IMG_3668_046e147d-fffc-417a-a1ea-6b19b7a3dfe3.jpg?v=1773092732","url":"https:\/\/gilded-guitars.com\/products\/gibson-firebird-v-non-reverse-1965-sunburst-all-original-w-ohsc","provider":"Gilded Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
