Excellent

For your approval, we are quite proud to offer, from a private collection this 1963 Firebird V. These guitars were introduced at the Summer NAMM Show in July of '63 and this guitar was shipped in August of '63, making it one of the first Firebird V's ever produced. An interesting tidbit, to say the least! Now, let's start with the basics: It's a 100% completely original virgin with no cracks, breaks, repairs or finish issues of any kind. There are some assorted dings, bumps and slight finish checks present that would naturally occur during a 47 year timespan, but there is no wear to the frets or fretboard and the neck is beefy and straight. Truth be told, this Firebird has seen very little playing time in her years and her condition is fully documented in the 56 photos below. The guitar's interior as well as the case is also documented and are original and in like condition to the guitar. Here are the specs of this fine instrument:
