Epiphone - 1963 Firebird I Reissue Cherry + Etui
The Epiphone 1963 Firebird I Reissue Cherry recreates the iconic silhouette inspired by Ray Dietrich’s automotive design, conceived to achieve a distinctive aesthetic. The body combines a nine-ply mahogany and walnut through-neck with mahogany wings for a powerful and balanced tonal response. The banjo-style tuning machines, wraparound bridge and electronics – featuring a Gibson USA mini humbucker, CTS potentiometers and a Black Beauty capacitor – ensure an exceptional reproduction of the look and sound of the 1960s models.
Presentation
The through-neck construction, combined with solid mahogany wings and a wraparound bridge, ensures perfect transmission of playing nuances and attack, maintaining the continuity of vibrations that promotes sustain.
On the electronics front, the Gibson USA mini humbucker, CTS potentiometers and Black Beauty capacitor deliver a rich, full and precise response that will suit blues, rock and other musical styles requiring stable and responsive dynamics.
