Epiphone 1963 Firebird I Electric Guitar - Silver Mist Reviews
Inspired by the Gibson Firebird’s single-pickup variation first launched in 1963, the Epiphone 1963 Firebird I is a rock-ready 6-string that’s sure to set your playing alight with old-school attitude. In classic Firebird fashion, this guitar’s body boasts an incredibly resonant and sustain-packed 9-piece mahogany/walnut neck-through construction, along with lightweight mahogany wings. A fire-breathing Gibson USA-made Firebird pickup in the bridge position delivers a surprisingly versatile array of tones to explore thanks to its seamless cross of humbucking depth and single-coil articulation. And much in the same vein as Gibson’s legendary “Jr.” models of the 1950s and 1960s, the Firebird I’s unbound laurel fingerboard and 1-piece wraparound Lightning Bar bridge harbor a no-nonsense, utilitarian edge for plug-and-play simplicity. Lastly, vintage-correct Kluson banjo-style planetary tuners and a swooping matched and painted headstock (literally) top it all off. Take the Firebird’s most raw and ripping iteration into your own talons with unabashedly vintage-inspired Epiphone 1963 Firebird I!

Wow!
I'd almost convinced myself to get something else based purely on all the hate Epiphone got for the pricing of this Gibson custom shop co-op. Simply put, that would've been a mistake! I'd have missed out big time. When I opened the case…what a stunner! The neck is nice and chunky but not ridiculous. Everything as far as fit and finish was better than expected. Tone…omg is this a rock machine. So many variations with one pickup using the tone knob, and boy can it scream. For those angry about the $, try it before you knock it. It's a whole lotta guitar you'd pay 3-4x as much if it has Gibson on the headstock.
