broken_sound Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hey guys/gals, I stumbled upon this "Gibson Custom Shop Non-Reverse Firebird '65 Reissue" on Craigslist and my dad is going nuts over it. No matter how much research I do, I can't seem to find any information on this model to figure out if it's a good deal or not. I've found a studio model that is close to the config, but the finish is different, the pickup selector on the studio is a 5 way, this is a standard 3, and the burst only is on the top. Can you please help me in finding a little more info on this beaut? Thank you so much for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I can't tell anything about the "reissue" Firebirds, runs, qtys, dates, etc, but....... I would be suspect of the dark shading around the neck heal. This is commonly done to hide/mask repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broken_sound Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 I was able to find an identical guitar for sale at music zoo. Different Serno so it's not the same exact guitar. Looks like the darkened joint is present on this model as well. http://www.themusiczoo.com/product/11705/Gibson-Custom-Shop-Non-Reverse-Firebird-Electric-Guitar-Vintage-Sunburst---Used/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slodano Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Cool guitar! Congrats on finding that Music Zoo listing. In my way of thinking that goes a long to putting to rest any fears of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
