"The Firebird was Gibson's first forte into neck-through construction. Gibson needed a guitar that would pull them out of the trouble caused by Fender's new-fangled offset guitars, and thus the Firebird was born – the one guitar that was going to help Gibson rise from the ashes. Now, while it may not be a household name such as the Les Paul or SG, the Firebird has gone on to garner somewhat of a cult following since its debut in 1963. [...] The distinctive pickups continue the theme of oddities for this offset guitar, providing a bright, shimmery tone that is definitely more articulate when compared to the LP, with a grunt that's not too dissimilar to a P-90."
