Epiphone Firebird WR
Product information "Epiphone Firebird WR"
The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Firebird brings back the classic reverse-body design from 1963. The neck-through 9-ply mahogany-walnut neck provides warm tone, solid sustain and outstanding resonance.
The Slim Taper C neck with a bound rosewood fretboard, 22 medium-jumbo frets and trapezoid inlays offers comfortable playability with a traditional look.
The ProBucker FB720 pickups built to original '60s specification deliver the typical bright, hum-free Firebird sound. They use two internal bar magnets instead of pole pieces and produce the characteristic Firebird tone—clear and powerful.
LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, LockTone stopbar, Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners and a GraphTech nut ensure top tuning stability. The white pickguard bears the red Firebird logo.
With its striking design, powerful sound and the included premium gigbag, the Firebird is a true rock original for the stage and rehearsal room.

When you think of Epiphone you naturally think of Gibson, since the maker of guitars, basses, amplifiers and accessories has been part of that company since 1957. Epiphone mainly offers instruments in the lower to mid price range. That means beginners can pick up electric guitar and bass classics such as Les Paul, SG, Explorer, Firebird, ES-335 or Thunderbird for little money. There are also instruments from earlier Epiphone eras like Casino, Wildkat, Riviera and Wilshire. In particular, Epiphone's beginner sets for electric guitar, acoustic guitar and electric bass are worth a close look for newcomers.
