A "reverse" icon born in 1963, reinvented by Epiphone

Inspired by the model designed by Ray Dietrich in 1963, this Firebird features the reverse body and headstock that made rock history. Epiphone's "Inspired by Gibson" series aims to capture the DNA of the originals, with faithful craftsmanship and electronics, while offering modern reliability and comfort for everyday use.

Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking stage durability and a strong character. Its palette spans classic rock, blues, hard rock, and indie. Motivated beginners will appreciate its SlimTaper ergonomics and tuning stability, ensuring rapid progress.

Sound

The ProBucker FB720 pickups replicate the specific construction of Firebird pickups: internal magnetic blades (no visible pole pieces) and steel reflective plate. The result is a clear, tight, and incisive tone, with tight lows, present mids, and sparkling highs, while remaining hum-cancelling. Combined with the neck-through construction and the LockTone/Graph Tech hardware, they deliver long sustain and precise attack. CTS potentiometers provide smooth taper for shaping tones from crisp clean to crunchy overdrive.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve feel and intonation: nickel electric string sets 10-46. Add a quality strap, a clip-on tuner, a reliable 6.35 mm jack cable, and some plectrums of varying thicknesses to explore the Firebird's full dynamic range. A stable tripod-style stand is also suitable for this format.
