Description

  This is a 1982 Gibson Firebird II Artist CMT in a beautiful cherry sunburst finish. This is a rare vintage piece with some tasteful modifications to make it more player-friendly. With its Curly Maple Top (CMT) and unique design, this is one of the more distinctive Firebirds Gibson ever made.


Additional Info

The original Moog active preamp has been removed, and the wiring has been updated to a standard Gibson setup: two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way toggle switch. We do not have the original preamp. The two mini toggle switches are on the guitar, but they are not wired-up and don’t do anything. The bridge pickup has been changed to a Seymour Duncan JB. The neck pickup is original.
Overall, it is in good condition, with minor finish swirls, small scratches, and a few blemishes here and there: pretty typical for a guitar that is over 40 years old. It plays great with a smooth neck and solid frets.
