Pre Owned Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Treasure Firebird I Polymist Gold With Gig Bag
What do you get with one of the coolest guitars ever made with one of the best blues players out there? This amazing Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Signature Firebird in Polymist Gold - and this one has been tweak, alter and modified to be much more than what you would normally see out there.
The guitar just came to us from one of our long-time customers and friends that always brings in the good stuff. This one is no exception. Epiphone made it in 2016 as part of a limited edition run. The guitar was closely modeled after his original 1963 Firebird, a rare single pickup version that was made in the first year of the model's production in Kalamazoo, MI.
The Firebird I features a Mahogany body with a 9-piece Laminated Mahogany/Walnut neck with a period-correct early 1960s Rounded “C” profile measured after Joe’s original. Epiphone improved on the vintage neck design by including a dual action adjustable truss rod. The Firebird was the first electric guitar to feature “thru-neck” construction along with the iconic Reverse Firebird™ body shape. The neck has a Rosewood fingerboard with a 14” radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, classic “Dot” inlays, and a 24.75” scale length. The 60's Rounded C neck carve is super comfortable - it's a guitar you won't want to put down.
Now, for what's been done this one - here are the mods/upgrades:
- Gibson truss rod cover
- Guitarslinger pickguard (original is in bag)
- MojoAxe bridge and studs
- Pro Jumbo refret
- Bobby Tyson Alnico 4 60s pickups
- Volume/Volume/Tone wiring - upgraded pots
So if you're looking for a single pickup Firebird like this, with some seriously nice alterations, this is a great score.
The guitar has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop. The special gig bag original to the guitar in included. It's the whole outfit, and it's ready to get out there!
