Description
This classic electric guitar is the Gibson Firebird. The Gibson Guitar Corporation released several new styles during the 1950s to compete with Fender's solid-body instruments, such as the Telecaster and Stratocaster. Gibson had made forays into radical body shapes – the Flying V and Explorer in the 1950s. The Firebird line went on sale in mid-1963, the most unusual aspect is that the guitar is "backward" in that the right-hand (treble) horn of the body is longer than the other. Thus, the original Firebirds were unofficially referred to as "reverse".
