Gibson Custom Shop Wildwood Spec 1963 Firebird V – Gloss
Firebird of Paradise
Wildwoodians, we are proud to present our latest collaboration with our friends at the Gibson Custom Shop: the Wildwood Spec 1963 Firebird V. Firebirds just ooze cool, and this one has mojo for days! Let's dive deeper and see what makes it so special!
For starters, the mini-humbuckers are incredible pickups! They sound muscular and well-sculpted, hefty but without an ounce of flub or muddiness. The lows are nice and tight, the mids have a big-mouthed bite, and the trebles have pleasant sparkle and chime without any accompanying harshness. The Firebird's neck-through construction also gives it lovely sustain and a bit of extra resonance. It's awfully hard to pick a desert island sound when you work at a place like Wildwood, but the mini-hums in this guitar are definitely a contender!
Add in a host of period-correct details like a stunning vintage mahogany sunburst finish, banjo-style tuners, and an imminently comfortable slim neck, and you have one of the coolest entries in the Wildwood Spec lineup ever! We're proud to showcase the Wildwood Spec 1963 Firebird V, and we have no doubt its elegant charms will steal your heart after just a couple of licks!
