A striking take on one of Gibson’s most iconic designs, this 2013 Firebird V in Classic White is a superb example that captures both the attitude and elegance of this distinctive model. The crisp white finish sets off the Firebird’s reverse-body silhouette beautifully, giving it a bold, refined presence that stands out without trying too hard. Paired with the banjo-style tuners and through-neck construction, it’s a guitar that feels every bit as special as it looks.

This particular example has been exceptionally well cared for and presents in excellent condition overall. The finish remains clean and vibrant, with only a single, very small chip on the headstock to note. Outside of this minor cosmetic detail, it is remarkably close to near mint, a testament to how thoughtfully it has been kept over the years. Importantly, the guitar is entirely original, retaining all of its factory components and character.

In hand, the Firebird V offers a smooth and comfortable playing experience, with a neck that feels fast yet substantial enough to inspire confidence. The frets are in beautiful shape, showing minimal wear and allowing for effortless playability across the fingerboard. It’s the kind of instrument that immediately feels ready for stage or studio use.

Tonally, the Firebird delivers the unmistakable clarity and bite that its mini-humbuckers are known for, offering a focused, articulate voice with plenty of chime and punch. There’s a tight low end, a present midrange, and a cutting top that makes it equally at home for clean passages and driven tones alike. It’s a versatile sound that rewards dynamic playing and responds beautifully to touch.

The guitar comes complete with its original Gibson USA hard case, providing a secure and period-correct home for this standout instrument. Altogether, this is a clean, original Firebird V that balances condition, tone, and visual appeal in a way that will resonate with both players and collectors alike.
