Epiphone Firebird

Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Firebird

The Firebird has always been rock ‘n’ roll’s most rebellious guitar — a reverse-body, neck-through beast designed by automotive legend Ray Dietrich that refuses to blend in — and the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Firebird brings that same radical DNA to players at every level. With authentic construction, premium hardware, and pickups voiced to the original 1960s specs, this isn’t just a guitar that looks the part; it sounds it too.
