Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Epiphone’s 1963 Firebird V pairs the offset Firebird outline with a nine-ply mahogany-and-walnut neck-through design and attached mahogany wings. Two Gibson USA Mini-Humbuckers feed a three-way selector, while each pickup has its own volume and tone controls for hands-on adjustment. The 22-fret Indian laurel fingerboard uses a period-accurate ’63 neck profile. Its Maestro Vibrola provides vibrato operation, and a hardshell case is part of the package. Vintage Sunburst, mother-of-pearl trapezoids, and vintage-style tuners complete the presentation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want individual volume and tone control for each of two mini-humbuckers.
