Firebird Elite by Gibson
Heritage Cherry Sunburst

Firebird Elite is one of the several Elite models introduced into the Gibson USA catalog for 2018. All of them, including the Firebird Elite, are limited edition models, available only throughout 2018. Thus, each of them has a unique feature, as well as super-elegant styling. The Firebird Elite sports customized pickups and Steinberger Gearless tuners. It is available in stunning Heritage Cherry Sunburst (w/gloss finish, gold-plated hardware, black plastics). The MSRP is set at $1,999 (which is a bit more expensive than the Elite Explorer and Elite Les Paul Studio). Other notable features include solid and flat mahogany body wings, a mahogany neck (slim taper profile, through-body joint), a 22-fret fingerboard made of baked granadillo (1.695" tektoid nut, 24.75" scale, 12" radius), a two-piece hardtail bridge, and minibucker pickups.
