Gibson Custom 1965 Firebird V 12-String Aqua Mist

Gibson Custom 1965 Non-Reverse Firebird V 12-String Reissue VOS, Aqua Mist Overview

The Gibson Custom 1965 Non-Reverse Firebird V 12-String Reissue VOS in Aqua Mist is a remarkable tribute to one of Gibson’s most unique and collectible 12-string electric guitars. This reissue is a faithful recreation of the original 1965 model, with thoughtful enhancements to improve playability and tone, making it a standout instrument for players who appreciate vintage aesthetics and sound with modern refinements.

Key Features:

12-String Configuration:
- The 12-string setup provides the characteristic jangle and chime that have made 12-string guitars a staple in rock, folk, and pop music since the 1960s. This model offers the lush, shimmering sound that’s perfect for rhythm playing and adding texture to recordings.
Non-Reverse Firebird Design:
- The Non-Reverse Firebird body is instantly recognizable, featuring an asymmetrical shape that was originally introduced in the mid-1960s. This design not only gives the guitar a distinctive look but also contributes to its balanced weight distribution and comfortable playability.
Aqua Mist VOS Finish:
- The guitar is finished in Aqua Mist, a color inspired by the 1959 Oldsmobile color chart, which was used for some of Gibson’s historic custom colors. The VOS (Vintage Original Spec) finish gives the guitar an aged look and feel, replicating the appearance of a well-preserved vintage instrument.
Improved Neck Width:
- Unlike the original 1965 model, which had a narrower neck, this reissue features a full 1 11/16” neck width, providing more room for finger placement and enhancing playability, especially on a 12-string instrument where string spacing is crucial.
Firebird Pickups with Alnico 5 Magnets:
- Equipped with a pair of Firebird pickups, this guitar delivers the bright, sparkling tones that are essential for a 12-string. The Alnico 5 magnets ensure a well-balanced sound with clarity and articulation, making it suitable for a variety of musical genres.
Vintage-Inspired Hardware:
- The guitar includes vintage-style hardware that complements its classic look, including a Tune-O-Matic bridge and Kluson tuners, ensuring stable tuning and intonation.
Gibson Custom Shop Quality:
- As a product of the Gibson Custom Shop, this reissue benefits from top-tier craftsmanship and attention to detail, making it a high-quality instrument built to exacting standards.
