The Gibson Firebird has always been the oddball rocker in Gibson’s lineup, with its reverse body shape and biting mini-humbuckers cutting through classic rock and alternative records alike. This 1996 Nashville-made example keeps the vintage-style three-pickup look, though the middle pickup here is a dummy cover and not wired. The bridge cavity was routed for a full-size humbucker at some point, but the original mini has since been reinstalled, keeping that bright, focused Firebird snap intact.
