Description: Done right and ready to playThis 1966 Firebird has all the modifications generally done to these guitars. Ready to use with any modern-day amp from super clean to high gain. Stays in tune and set up perfectly. All replaced parts are genuine Gibson. I love this guitar and it sounds and plays like a dream. Just time to thin the heard. Frets are original and in like new condition. I don't have the case. Will ship with a quality soft case, packed with care. Here is the list of repairs and modifications.1. Removal of the tremolo and added hard tail – This was likely done in the 60’s as the Vintage Bridge suggests.2. 2 of 6 saddles had to be replaced by me. Genuine Gibson3. New Controls- Modified Wiring – switch positions are: 1 = Bridge, 2=Middle, 3 = Neck. It sounds amazing in all positions this way. I tried all ways. You can wire as you like.a. All new Gibson Potsb. High quality Mallory Capc. Emerson Treble bleeds on all Pots.d. New Vintage switch4. Pickups – Guitar ships with 4 pickups! all original Pickups+ Brand new Gibson P-90 currently in the bridge position with the original pickup cover I play loud and High Gain. Needed the modern pickup in the bridge. I will ship it with the original in the box. The Bridge pickup was sent to Lindley Fralin to service. He did it himself! It was not re-wound, just needed new coax attached and fix slight microphonics. It sounds amazing. But I kept the new pickup in it. To me, it sounded killer and I didn’t feel the need to put the original back in. It alone is worth over $600. You will have it and can use it or sell it. When I 1st got this guitar, it was great! After fixing it up , it's better than any I’ve played. Road and studio ready, reliable and Vibe for days!
