We’re back again, helping you figure out which Gibson electric guitar is right for you!
Today, the Gibson and Epiphone Firebird™ is on deck!
Join us as Dinesh Lekhraj offers a (very) brief history of the Gibson Firebird guitar and plays through some of its signature sounds, helping you decide if this is the guitar for you!
The iconic Gibson Firebird, first introduced in 1963, is known for its distinctive Firebird mini-humbucker™ pickups that beautifully blend the sonic warmth and power of a traditional humbucker with the bite of a P-90.
The Firebird offers a unique sound profile that stands out in the mix when compared to other Gibson humbuckers, providing a little extra twang when you need the sound of your lead lines and riffs to stick out in the mix while the neck-through-body design gives you that additional sustain and resonance, setting the Firebird apart from other guitars.
Watch as Dinesh explores the signature sound of the Gibson Firebird, explaining its uncanny ability to deliver both twang and substantial gain without the dreaded hum that some single coil guitars might be prone to onstage thanks to the Firebird pickups, making it versatile for a variety of genres, especially those who love some high gain guitar riffs, but with plenty of creamy cleans for the jazz and blues players.
Dinesh also introduces the Gibson Firebird Custom Shop models, particularly the Murphy Lab Firebird, and how they’re renowned for their period-correct features and meticulous attention to detail - it’s like stepping back in time!
PLUS, Dinesh introduces the new Epiphone Firebird guitars for 2024, which actually feature Gibson Custom pickups!
Whether you want to sound like legendary Firebird players like Johnny Winters, Mike Campbell, or Keith Richards or simply looking for an electric guitar that can cover a wide range of tones, from clean to screaming leads, this video will provide valuable insights into whether the Gibson Firebird is the right choice for you.
