Epiphone 1963 Firebird V Maestro Vibrola Reissue - Polaris White - With Inspired by Gibson Custom Hardshell

The Epiphone 1963 Firebird V Maestro Vibrola Reissue - Legendary Design and Authentic Vintage Tone

Classic Firebird Design Inspired by 1963 Originals

The Epiphone 1963 Firebird V Maestro Vibrola Reissue in Polaris White brings back the revolutionary style and sound that changed the guitar world. Designed in collaboration with automotive visionary Ray Dietrich, this Firebird proudly carries a neck-through-body construction of mahogany and walnut, topped off with mahogany wings. The result is exceptional resonance, sustain, and tonal transfer—traits that defined the original Firebird and helped it stand out in the hands of players like Johnny Winter, Keith Richards, and Eric Clapton.

Premium Tonewoods and SlimTaper Neck Profile

This reissue delivers a superb playing experience thanks to its 9-ply mahogany and walnut neck and SlimTaper Rounded C profile. The soft rolled edges of the rosewood fingerboard offer an inviting, broken-in feel right out of the case. With a traditional 24.75" scale length, 22 medium jumbo frets, and mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays, this Firebird captures the spirit and feel of the original while ensuring effortless playability for modern musicians.

Gibson USA Mini Humbuckers for Authentic Firebird Sound

Under the hood, this Firebird V houses a pair of Gibson USA Firebird Mini Humbucker pickups loaded with Alnico 5 magnets. Hand-wired with CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors, the electronics deliver crystal-clear highs, defined mids, and a robust low end. Combined with a Switchcraft 3-way toggle switch and output jack, this setup perfectly replicates the powerful, articulate tones that made the Firebird a legend across blues, rock, and alternative genres.

Maestro Vibrola and Vintage-Style Hardware

The Maestro Vibrola tailpiece is not just for looks—it provides expressive vibrato effects with vintage flair, made even more stable by the Kluson "banjo-style" planetary geared tuners. An Epiphone ABR-1 bridge, nickel hardware plating, and black Top Hat knobs with reflectors complete the historically accurate appointments, ensuring that this guitar not only sounds the part but also feels and looks like a true vintage treasure.

Inspired by Gibson Custom Collaboration

This Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom model represents a premium, historically faithful recreation at an accessible price point. Every detail—from the correctly placed side dot markers to the engraved Epiphone logo on the Maestro Vibrola—honors the original design. An Inspired by Gibson Custom hardshell case is also included to keep your Firebird protected wherever your music takes you.
