Gibson Non Reverse Firebird Studio Vintage Sunburst

Looking for something a little different? You’ve come to the right place. Amazing tonal versatility and alternative styling are yours with the Gibson 2011 Firebird Studio Non-Reverse. A favourite with rock, fusion and rock players from the ‘60s this eye-catching alternative to the norm takes its retro looks and bolsters it with some new technology in the form of three, yes three, Tapped P-90s. Adding some sonic versatility to the bright, vintage tones of this beauty.

That isn’t enough for the Gibson 2011 Firebird Studio Non-Reverse, however, as it throws Grade-A tonewoods into the mix. This is alongside the finite control offered by five-way pickup switching, push-pull tap and phase switching. Put this with the Tune-o-matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece and Mini Grover kidney button tuners and you have a real mean piece of kit with amazing resonance and sustain.

Grade-A tonewoods are central to this guitar’s artistry. Starting with a solid Grade-A mahogany body, with a high-gloss nitrocellulose finish. The neck is also Grade-A mahogany with an ultra-thin profile that is quarter-sawn, glued in and topped with a Coracao De Negro fingerboard.

With all these amazing woods in one place you have to have a set of pickups to show of the sonic capacity of the guitar and once again there has been no skimping with the inclusion of three Tapped P-90s. Relevant to its routes the P-90s provide all the bite you would expect, though using the push-pull switch of the pickups individual volume controls you can transform the sound into the brighter sound of thinner single coils. Add this to the ability to put the middle pickup out of phase with the bridge or neck via a push-pull switch on the master tone pot and five-way switching with full tapped and full options and you have an unparallel tonal range in your hands.

To protect your pride and joy the Gibson 2011 Firebird Studio Non-Reverse comes with a Gibson hard case.
