Gibson / Firebird III / 1963 / Sunburst / Guitar For Sale
Gibson Firebird III (1963) – Early Issue, Two-Piece Neck, No Bird Pickguard
We are pleased to offer this 1963 Firebird III from Gibson, representing an early example from the first year of Firebird production.
Introduced in 1963 and designed in collaboration with automotive designer Ray Dietrich, the Firebird series marked a departure from traditional Gibson construction, featuring a reverse body design and through-neck construction.
This example is an early “III” specification, featuring a two-piece neck construction and a pickguard without the later “bird” hot-stamp detail.
The instrument remains in overall excellent vintage condition, showing light wear and weather checking consistent with age. There is evidence of a minor repaired crack near the output jack area.
All components are reported to be original with the exception of a few replaced screws.
The guitar is equipped with original mini-humbucker pickups, delivering the clear and harmonically rich response associated with early Firebird models.
Potentiometer code: 1376336
A well-preserved early 1963 Firebird III, combining original reverse-body construction, early specifications, and strong overall originality.
