Epiphone 1964 Firebird I: A Vintage Icon Reimagined

The Epiphone 1964 Firebird I is a stunning recreation of the iconic guitar designed by legendary automotive designer Ray Dietrich. Created in collaboration with Gibson Custom, this model faithfully replicates the original 1963 Firebird I, offering vintage specifications and design elements that made the Firebird a favorite among legendary musicians like Johnny Winter, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, and Phil Manzanera. Now available at an accessible price, this guitar is perfect for players looking to capture the classic Firebird tone and style.

Authentic 1964 Firebird Design

The Epiphone 1964 Firebird I features a 9-ply neck-through-body construction made from mahogany and walnut, with mahogany body wings on either side. This design not only provides exceptional sustain and stability but also contributes to the guitar's distinctive look and feel. The neck-through-body construction was groundbreaking when the Firebird was first introduced and remains a key feature of this classic design.

Vintage-Inspired Hardware and Electronics

This Firebird I model is equipped with premium hardware that stays true to the vintage original. The Kluson? planetary geared ?banjo? tuners are a standout feature, offering precise tuning and adding to the guitar's vintage appeal. At the other end, the Wraparound Lightning Bar bridge ensures solid intonation and sustain, making it ideal for a wide range of playing styles.

The electronics on the Epiphone 1964 Firebird I are just as impressive. It features a Gibson USA Firebird mini humbucker? pickup with Alnico 5 magnets, delivering the bright, cutting tone that Firebirds are known for. The pickup is complemented by high-quality CTS? potentiometers, a Mallory? capacitor, and a Switchcraft? 1/4? output jack, ensuring that the guitar not only looks but also sounds like a true vintage Firebird.

Included Hardshell Case

To protect this iconic instrument, the Epiphone 1964 Firebird I comes with an Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom hardshell case. This case not only offers excellent protection for your guitar but also adds a touch of vintage style, making it a perfect match for the Firebird I.
