2006 Gibson Firebird (Modded) Electric Guitar
Overview: This is a stock Firebird from '06 that has been modified a bit. It's got a P90 (with metal cover) routed-for and fit in the bridge position, for starters. Add to that a Vibrola-style whammy and a simplified wiring setup, and you've already got a cool, unusual guitar. Beyond that, it's also been professionally lightly-relic'd (there's weather-check and light staining) but then also gigged so it's been naturally aged as well. It's a righteous-looking guitar.
Repairs included: Sarah gave it a fret level/dress and setup. The owner replaced a bad low-E tuner with one of the same type. I fixed a ground issue in the wiring. It's playing spot-on and ready to serve.

Condition notes: Obviously, it's been modified a bit. The old tailpiece post holes are still obvious and, of course, could be reused if one wanted to remove or not use the Vibrola tailpiece. Two of the controls are removed and "capped" -- it has has master tone and volume. The finish has been lightly relic'd for a vintage look and then played for a while which has added some more, "natural" goodness.
It comes with: It has a good hard case.
