Place of manufacture: Kalamazoo, MI. USA

Year: 1965

Finish: Sunburst

Cosmetic Condition: Good to Very Good with lovely finish checking over most of the instrument, some dings, nicks, scrapes in several spots, some oxidation on some of the metal hardware. Gibson headstocks back then (and still are!) were made using a couple of pieces of wood glued together. There is some light separation between the two pieces which you see on nearly all Gibson’s from this era and a similar spot by one of the tone controls. These are just below surface level and won’t give you any trouble. There are no breaks, cracks, repair, mods of any kind. 7.5 out of 10 condition

Case: Comes with Road Runner hybrid case

Description: Here’s an all original Firebird III from 1965. It is a fantastic player, looker and sounder (?)…a true Rockstar guitar for those who don’t want to settle for an expensive custom shop guitar that gets you “kinda close”. This bird just turned 60 this year and while kept all original and clearly cared for, it was also clearly played and adored by its previous owner and we get it…it’s light weight, a joy to play, resonant and lively when strummed acoustically and it sounds like those 1960s records we all love when plugged in. Singing sustain; dreamy, musical overtones and a neck that feels better than your favorite pair of jeans await you with this dream bird. Don’t let it fly away or you’ll be haunted by our bird puns for the rest of your days!
