Guitar Firebird

The Firebird Platypus Ebony is a unique electric guitar, inspired by the transitional Gibson models of the 1960s. Featuring a Reverse Firebird mahogany body, it is distinguished by its set-in mahogany neck with a SlimTaper profile and its rosewood fingerboard decorated with acrylic trapezoid inlays. Equipped with 2 Firebird Mini Humbuckers with Alnico 5 magnets, it produces a clear and punchy sound, ideal for rock and blues. Its chrome hardware and Vintage Cherry dress give it an elegant look. Delivered with a hardshell case, it is an instrument as aesthetic as it performs.

The Gibson Firebird Platypus Ebony is equipped with Firebird Mini Humbucker pickups that allow you to obtain a rich and articulate sound, perfect for styles such as rock or blues. These pickups, faithful to the historical models, use Alnico 5 magnets to offer exceptional clarity.

The unique design of the headstock, inspired by the first Platypus models, also contributes to the distinct aesthetic of the instrument.

This guitar has a SlimTaper neck that ensures optimal playing comfort, even during extended sessions.

The set mahogany neck combined with the mahogany body contributes to remarkable sustain, while the rosewood fingerboard adds a natural warmth to the sound.

The Stop-Bar tailpiece + aluminum Tune-O-Matic bridge allows excellent transmission of vibrations to the solid body of the instrument, greatly contributing to its tone and sustain.
