A '60s Classic, with New Sonic Possibilities

Pick up Gibson's fantastic Firebird Studio Non-Reverse solidbody electric guitar and experience the best of both worlds: a '60s classic axe packed with vibe plus a surprisingly versatile tone machine that works within a variety of styles. Gibson packed a trio of potent P-90 pickups into the Firebird Studio Non-Reverse's distinctive mahogany body, then added innovative tapping capability plus a phase-reverse switch, for an incredible array of tonal possibilities. You'll also love this guitar's speedy, comfortable neck and rock-solid hardware. The Firebird Studio Non-Reverse is stage and studio ready!



Gibson Firebird Studio Non-Reverse Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • A '60 Classic Returns
  • Single-coils with Taps, for New Tonal Possibilities
  • Grade-A Construction and Playability to Match


A '60 Classic Returns
Look at Gibson's Firebird Studio Non-Reverse solidbody and it's as if you've been transported back to the mid '60s. This guitar has all the hallmarks of the classic axe, including the non-reverse body style, the beautiful finish, the appointments, and the iconic P-90 pickups. Strum this beauty and you won't be disappointed! The Firebird Studio Non-Reverse sounds as great as it looks. But this particular guitar is no throwback; Gibson loaded it with a surprising range of tonal possibilities.

Single-coils with Taps, for New Tonal Possibilities
Yes, the P-90s onboard the Firebird Studio Non-Reverse are single-coil pickups (and a satisfyingly fat-sounding ones at that). Gibson managed to partially tap each of the three P-90s, so you can pull brighter, twangier sounds out of them. You can access each pickup individually, thanks to push-pull tap operation on each of the three volume knobs. Want to work even more tonal magic? Pull the master tone knob and put the middle pickup out of phase. You won't believe how many great sounds you can pull out of this guitar!

Grade-A Construction and Playability to Match
Gibson didn't skimp on quality when they built the Firebird Studio Non-Reverse. From its beautiful mahogany body and super-slim mahogany neck to the rock-solid hardware, this instrument is pro quality through and through. You'll appreciate the way this solidbody electric feels in your hands - it plays like an extension of you rather than a piece of equipment. That's the sign of a great guitar. Your Firebird Studio Non-Reverse is waiting for you, right here at Sweetwater!

Amazing tones!

by Leigh Barrett from Atlanta, GA

Music Background: Semi-pro musician
I ordered this guitar without the luxury of being able to actually play one first. I own several other guitars with P-90 pickups so I thought I had a pretty idea of that this one would sound like. I... read more [+] was totally wrong but in a very good way. This thing sounds a Strat on steroids! The tone is very big and, for lack of a better word, spanky. I also have other guitars with coil taps but I rarely use them and that is the case here, too. There's nothing really wrong with the tone you get from the taps but it's just not my cup of tea. The guitar has much better balance that a reverse Firebird and the setup was perfect out of the box. Very happy with the guitar and the service provided by Sweetwater was outstanding as always. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
