Description: Up for sale, a 1997 Gibson Firebird V in excellent condition and in perfect working order, finished in Classic White and complete with the original hardshell case. Originally sold via Gibson's Japanese distributor Yamano, this Firebird comes with a piece of Japanese paperwork included when sold new. Gibson's distributed via Yamano are considered among their best, with premium tonewoods selected for Japan's discerning audience. Featuring 9-ply mahogany/walnut neck-through construction, the instrument's warmth and natural sustain translates faithfully through a pair of Gibson's hot Firebird pickups. The tone is rich and full, with plenty of midrange content and an aggressive treble bite. This Firebird V weighs 8lbs 7oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
