Don’t let the patina fool you; this original 1965 Gibson Firebird III is not green – it’s aged Silver Mist Poly! This guitar was very clearly played in smokey bars or exposed to sunlight in some way, as the aging of the clear coat is shockingly consistent! You can still see traces of the...

How cool is this all-original 1967 Gibson Firebird III in Sparkling Burgundy?! This finish is Gibson’s answer to Fender’s “Candy Apple Red,” and this particular one has aged and faded uniquely. Some of the deeper red remains, while other areas have lightened up to a reddish-gold hue. With a thinner...

This all-original 1964 Gibson Firebird III in custom color Pelham Blue is so well preserved! Pelham Blue, as well as any custom finish, is pretty rare to come across on any Firebird, much less an early reverse style like this one. This extremely resonant example is such a great player and the sound...

This is a remarkable first year 1963 Gibson Firebird III in Cherry! Gibson began releasing “radical” shaped guitars with the Flying V and Explorer in the late 1950s, but the run was short lived. Just five years later, Gibson would try again with a new winged, neck-through design in various tiers;...
