Gibson Firebird Bicentennial 1976

Supercool, rare and unusual-in-black 1976 Gibson Firebird Bicentennial. The reissue of the original 1964 Firebird design was released by Gibson to celebrate 200 years of American independence from the UK in 1776.

This fine guitar is all‑original. There are no breaks or structural issues of any sort and it hasn’t been tampered with. Neck is nice and chunky like these all are. Frets are the original very low frets, but they’re  in good condition and the guitar plays well.
