Other high-performance features, including stainless steel frets, compound-radius fretboards, and ultra-comfortable neck profiles, make the Futura Series guitars truly innovative and a must-have addition for any guitar collection. The Gibson Firebird⢠has one of the most distinctive and instantly recognizable profiles in the world of electric guitars. Designed by renowned automotive coach designer Ray Dietrich, the Firebird drew inspiration from both the eraâs iconic car designs and the Gibson Explorerâ˘. Epiphone is excited to introduce the new Futura Firebird Custom, an extraordinary, modern take on a design that was way ahead of its time when Gibson first released it in 1963. The shapely mahogany body has 7-ply binding on the top, while the back features a rear belly cut for comfort. It is equipped with a LockTone⢠Tune-O-Matic⢠bridge and a LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece for exceptional intonation and sustain, while Posi-Lok⢠strap buttons keep your strap securely attached without requiring extra hardware. The glued-in mahogany neck has an ultra-comfortable, fast-playing Modern C profile and is topped with a bound ebony fretboard with 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets and eye-catching Super 400-style pearloid split block inlays. The fretboard also features a 10â-14â compound radius, making chording and string bends equally effortless. The bound Reverse Firebird headstock is equipped with locking GroverÂŽ Mini RotomaticÂŽ tuners, a Graph TechÂŽ nut, and a Firebird truss rod cover with the Epiphone logo. Powering the Futura Firebird Custom are a pair of Epiphoneâs new ProBucker⢠Ignite humbucker⢠pickups that can drive your amp hard when you want to, while retaining clarity. Push/pull volume and tone controls provide coil-splitting and phase options for even more tonal variety. The Futura Firebird Custom is available in two eye-popping Chromashift color-shifting finishes: Firestorm Shift and Quicksilver Shift, each designed to stand out on camera or on any stage.
