Gibson Murphy Lab Ultra Lite Aged '63 Firebird V, Ember Red

Lorsque Gibson a embauché le célèbre designer automobile Ray Dietrich pour créer une toute nouvelle guitare à corps solide, l'histoire du rock'n roll s'est ensuivie. Avec sa forme décalée, sa construction à manche traversant et ses mini-humbuckers™ brûlants, le '63 Firebird™ V est devenu un classique instantané. Le Gibson Custom Shop est fier de présenter cette réplique exacte d'un original vintage, qui utilise des contours, des dimensions et des méthodes de construction authentiques pour une expérience de possession et de jeu incroyable. Il présente un vieillissement ultra léger réalisé par les artisans qualifiés du Murphy Lab. Le traitement de finition Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged, associé à du matériel légèrement vieilli, simule des décennies d'usure légère, lui donnant le caractère, l'ambiance et la sensation uniques d'un exemple original de la Gibson Golden Era.
