| Finish Details: | The guitar displays a mix of original and non-original finish. The entirety of the neck shows finish touch up and black overspray. The body shows finish touch up in the space between the pickups under the path of the strings. |
| Body Material: | Mahogany |
| Neck Material: | Mahogany |
| Fingerboard Material: | Rosewood |
| Neck Profile: | "C" Shape |
| Neck Thickness (IN): | 1st. Fret: .79" & 12th. Fret: .96" |
| Fingerboard Radius: | 12.00" |
| Nut Width: | 1-11/16" |
| Scale Length: | 24 3/4" |
| Electronics: | The neck pickup is a Gibson patent embossed mini humbucker. The bridge pickup has been replaced with an unbranded humbucker. Although the humbucker resembles a vintage DiMarzio, it is not for certain due to lack of branding. The pots, switch, and wiring are not original. |
| Pickup Measurements: | Bridge: 11.6k Neck: 15.9k |
| Hardware: | Original tuners, nut, bridge, and tail-piece. The Gretsch switch tip is not original. |
| Weight: | 7lbs 9oz |
| Modifications/Repairs: | -Over-spray and finish touch up on the neck, headstock face, and scattered spots on the body. -The bridge pickup route has been enlarged to fit a standard sized humbucker. -Non-original unbranded bridge humbucker. -Non-original pots, wiring, and switch. |
| Case Details: | Hardshell Case |
| Cosmetic Condition: | This Firebird is in good cosmetic condition with heavy play wear throughout. The finish on the neck and headstock face is not original with some spots being over-sprayed in black and others being touched up. Because of the refinishing of the neck, there is not guarantee that the neck is free of a headstock repair. There is considerable finish wear, dings, dents, and scratches throughout. The body displays finish touch up in between the humbuckers. The hardware is also heavily tarnished. |
| Serial Number: | N/A |
| Tech Notes: | This Firebird plays well with medium action. The frets are wide and show heavy wear. Due to the sporadic refinishing the serial number is covered and lack of original pots negates dating from pot codes. That being said, dating this Firebird is based solely on the fact that is has a bicentennial pickguard. |
