Presentation
You'll appreciate the unique design of the 1963 Firebird V Frost Blue from Epiphone, which combines aesthetics and performance. The body of the guitar, made from a 9-ply assembly of mahogany and walnut, ensures an exceptional tone and a sustain as long as the arm. The Gibson USA Mini-Humbucker pickups, equipped with Alnico 5 magnets, provide a rich, precise and powerful tone.
This version of the Firebird V is distinguished by its neck-through mahogany and walnut, a major asset for those looking for optimal neck stability, as well as amplified resonance. This design, rare in electric guitars, ensures optimal transmission of vibrations, allowing you to get the most out of each note played. The 22 medium jumbo frets and 12" radius provide comfortable playability, ideal for complex solos and precise chords.
With the 1963 Firebird V Frost Blue, you also benefit from top-notch electronics. The CTS potentiometers, the Switchcraft 3-way selector, combined with Mallory capacitors, ensure a fast and smooth response, allowing you to sculpt your tone with great precision.
The Maestro Vibrola tailpiece, designed with an engraved Epiphone logo, is not only a design element, but a real tool that adds a vibrant touch to your playing. Coupled with the Epiphone ABR Tune-O-Matic bridge, this system allows you to subtly modulate the tone of your chords while maintaining exemplary tuning stability. The precise and reliable Kluson "banjo" tuners complete this package to offer you an authentic design.
