Gibson Firebird Platypus Vintage Cherry - DSFRP00VECH1
The Gibson Firebird Platypus Vintage Cherry revives a rare transitional Firebird design from 1965, featuring a non-reverse headstock and six-in-line Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners for improved tuning stability. Crafted with a mahogany body and set mahogany neck, it delivers rich resonance with a SlimTaper profile and a rosewood fingerboard for smooth playability. Equipped with historically accurate Firebird mini humbuckers with Alnico 5 magnets, this guitar produces clear, bell-like cleans and articulate, cutting rock and blues tones. Individual volume and tone controls allow precise tonal shaping, while the iconic hot-stamped Firebird pickguard completes its striking vintage aesthetic. A hardshell case is included for protection.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Gibson Firebird Platypus Vintage Cherry is a stunning fusion of classic looks, unique design, and powerful Firebird tone, perfect for players who want a truly distinctive instrument.
