Gibson Firebird 2019

Gibson has been making guitars since 1902. The company is the undisputed leader in the market, because it constantly updates popular series, improving them with the help of innovative technologies. A successful example of an upgrade is the Firebird 2019 model, priced at almost $2,000.

Even without taking into account the price tag, the tool looks really nice and expensive. The beautifully textured 9-ply mahogany and walnut body is finished with a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The guitar is offered in three colour options: Tobacco Sunburst, Satin Cherry and Cardinal Red. In the latest version, the texture of the top is not visible, and in general, the vintageness of the model is slightly lost.

The white pickguard is adorned with an eagle logo in honor of the Firebird's name. The beauty and grace of the instrument is emphasized by chrome fittings, especially closed thin humbuckers, which look very stylish.

The 22-fret Slim Taper neck deserves special attention. In addition to being very comfortable to play, it is also glued in, which adds a really gorgeous sustain to the guitar.

Despite their reduced size, the signature Firebird Mini humbuckers with Alnico magnets in the bridge and neck produce a very tight, rich and warm sound, both overdrive and clean. And for the stability of the system , a graphite nut, a fixed Nashville Tune-O-Matic aluminium bridge with fastening strings through the body and Grover Mini Rotomatics peg mechanics will help not to worry.

Well, Gibson would not have been himself if, for such a price, he had not added a branded case and a set of accessories to the tool kit.

Firebird 2019 definitely deserves the attention of a true connoisseur of elite musical instruments. This is not just a cool guitar, but also a wonderful decoration for the collection of any musician or music lover who knows the price of masterpieces.
