A characterful reissue

Epiphone 1963 Firebird V Vibrola PW Electric Guitar

The Epiphone 1963 Firebird V With Maestro Vibrola Reissue in Polaris White brings authentic vintage character into the present day. Developed in collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop, this model follows the legendary original design by Ray Dietrich, and its sleek, symmetrical shape, iconic headstock, and Maestro vibrato system ensure instant recognition. Historically accurate details such as the banjo-style machine heads and trapezoid inlays make it the perfect bridge between rehearsal room and stage, without stretching the budget or turning the instrument into a display piece, as can often be the case with higher-priced Gibson models. It is aimed at players who want to experience not just the look, but also the feel and signature sound of the original, without having to spend five-figure sums.

Designed with soul

The polar white Firebird V features a nine-ply neck-through construction made of mahogany and walnut with glued-on mahogany wings - a design that combines the neck, pickups, and bridge into a continuous resonant surface, ideal for powerful sustain, fast attack, and a well-balanced tone. The neck with its Slim Taper "rounded C" profile feels great in the hand, while the rounded fingerboard edges and 22 medium-jumbo frets give players the feeling of a guitar that has already been "played in". The guitar of course features Gibson's usual 628mm (24.75") scale length and a rosewood fingerboard. In terms of electronics, this reissue also stays close to the original: Two hand-wired Gibson USA Firebird mini-humbuckers with AlNiCo-5 magnets deliver the biting tone that made this guitar a favourite, and the sound is controlled via dedicated volume and tone pots using high-quality CTS pots and Mallory capacitors.

For Firebird fans and vintage nerds

This guitar is aimed at players who love vintage flair and favour clear, singing lead tones. Whether it's Blues, Classic Rock, Indie, or Alternative, the Firebird V delivers style, substance, and sound, making it ideal for guitarists who value feel and dynamics. Players who are chasing that '60s sound but don't want to sacrifice playing comfort will soon discover that this guitar hits the mark, and guitarists looking for a striking design and a sonically direct instrument will also find a reliable partner in the Epiphone 1963 Firebird V. Because of its more complex construction and the higher price point that comes with it, it is less suited to beginners, but offers experienced musicians all the more expressiveness, along with a rich Rock & Roll legacy.

About Epiphone

Today, Epiphone is known only as the Asian budget offshoot of Gibson. Yet both companies were once independent, equal, and also bitter rivals. The roots of Epiphone go back to the 1870s and to Anastasios Stathopoulo, a Greek instrument maker, who emigrated to America in 1903 with his son Epaminondas (“Epi” for short). Epi changed the name of the firm to the “Epiphone Banjo Company” after taking over the family business in 1928. During this year, Epiphone also began to manufacture guitars, which rapidly came to dominate their sales. In 1957, Epiphone was taken over by C.M.I., which already included Gibson, but continued as a separate brand until 1970, when manufacturing was outsourced to Asia. Well-known Epiphone models include the Casino, played by the Beatles, and the Sheraton, John Lee Hooker’s instrument of choice.

Equally at home on stage and in the studio

The Epiphone 1963 Firebird V With Maestro Vibrola Reissue is tailor-made for Classic Rock and Blues tones, but will also excel in Indie, Garage Rock, and experimental genres. Thanks to its bright, assertive sound character, it pairs beautifully with tube amps and with fuzz or overdrive pedals, while its direct response makes it a dependable partner both in the studio and on stage. It is also an excellent choice as a backup guitar for Gibson players or for collectors with a more modest budget. The guitar comes with a sturdy Epiphone Custom hardshell case, perfect for safe storage and transport.
