2021 Aged Gibson Firebird V Johnny Winter 1964 Polaris White Murphy Lab

The Firebird will probably remain forever associated with the name Johnny Winter. No wonder Gibson dedicates a limited tribute model of this iconic guitar to the Blues legend from time to time.

In 2021 Murphy Lab took on the challenge of recreating Johnny's white 1964 Firebird in every detail. Most obvious are the plugged holes of the former Maestro vibrola, which Johnny traded for a stoptail and tailpiece, and the missing reflector of the volume knob on the neck. But also the aging was exactly copied from the original.  Period correct the guitar comes with a full-length, five-piece neck made of mahogany and walnut. Two hand-wired Alnico-V Firebird Mini-Humbuckers provide the typical nasal Firebird sound in top form. The neck with its authentic '64 profile is just right for those who like to hold a little more in their hands when bluesing, but of course it whizzes across the fretboard with ease.

We can offer you 1 of only 125 built JWFB birds in mint collector grade condition.

Also included is the extra case candy, hang tags, Gibson rectangular Firebird case stencilled "J. WINTER FIREBIRD", COA Certificate Of Authenticity, a Johnny Winter bottleneck slide, Gibson CS Johnny Winter Picks and a cool Photo of Johnny Winter hand-signed by photography legend Mick Rock.
