Most Expensive Lead Guitars

Rare Gibson Firebird One Of A Kind w / Documentation



Sale Price:
US $10,000.00


Very Rare! ONE OF A KIND, Gibson Firebird Celebrity Series Guitar. This is the ONLY ONE in existence with a ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD. The original Celebrity Series Firebirds were made with ebony fingerboards and were limited to a production of only 200. This guitar was made to replace one of the originals which I received in damaged condition. By mistake, or accident, the builders used rosewood instead of ebony for the fingerboard. Rather than tear the guitar apart and have them put an ebony fingerboard on it, I opted to keep the rosewood and they created a special document to accompany the guitar and then the president of Gibson signed it. Subsequently, and a pleasant surprise I might add, the rosewood fingerboard actually sounds better than the ebony version. Guitar has never been played out, and only diddled on a handful of times since purchased some 17 or so years ago. Comes with signed certificate of authenticity(pictured) and original premium Gibson hardshell case with plush, purple lining.
