Gibson Firebird Platypus Tobacco Sunburst - DSFRP00TBCH1
The Gibson Firebird Platypus pays homage to the rare transitional Firebird models of 1965, featuring a unique non-reverse headstock with six-in-line Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners. The mahogany body and set mahogany neck create a powerful resonance, complemented by a SlimTaper profile and rosewood fretboard for smooth playability. Equipped with historically accurate Firebird mini humbuckers with Alnico 5 magnets, this guitar delivers bell-like chime when clean and cuts through the mix with rich rock and blues tones when pushed. Individual volume and tone controls allow for detailed sound shaping, while the iconic hot-stamped Firebird pickguard adds to its distinct visual appeal. A premium hardshell case is included for protection.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Gibson Firebird Platypus is the perfect fusion of vintage style, modern playability, and signature Firebird tone, making it an outstanding choice for players seeking something truly unique.
