{"product_id":"gibson-firebird-platypus-tobacco-sunburst","title":"GIBSON Firebird Platypus, Tobacco Sunburst","description":"Firebird Platypus Tobacco Sunburst\u003cbr\u003eMahogany body with neck-through appearance, glued-in, set mahogany neck with SlimTaper profile, rosewood fretboard, and \"Platypus\" style headstock, historically accurate Firebird Alnico 5 humbuckers, hardshell case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaying tribute to the rare transitional models from 1965\u003cbr\u003eIn early 1965, the original Firebird™ design transitioned through several different iterations. One of the significant transitions that occurred flipped the headstock to the Non-Reverse shape. Unlike the original Reverse Firebird headstock design, which featured a two-layered headstock with a holly veneer, the new headstock was flat, like the bill of a platypus. The Platypus-style Firebird featured six-in-line tuners rather than the banjo-style tuners that were used on previous Firebird models. The Firebird Platypus pays tribute to those rare transitional models. It features a mahogany body with a glued-in, set neck and the appearance of a traditional neck-through Reverse Firebird body. The mahogany neck has a fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile and a rosewood fretboard with a 12” radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and acrylic trapezoid inlays and sports the Platypus-style headstock with a Graph Tech® nut and Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners. The Platypus-style headstock has been slightly modified to provide straight string pull for less friction and improved tuning stability. The other ends of the strings are routed over a Nashville Tune-O-Matic™ bridge for precise intonation and solidly anchored with an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece for outstanding sustain. The Firebird is one of the most distinctive-looking guitar designs ever, and the Firebird Platypus takes this legendary guitar a step further with its unique appearance. Its tone is just as unique due to its two articulate, historically accurate Firebird mini humbucker™ pickups. They are equipped with Alnico 5 magnets and can deliver tones with a nearly bell-like chime when played clean and great rock and blues tones that easily cut through the mix when pushed. Individual volume and tone controls allow you to tailor the sound even further, and of course, the pickguard features the legendary hot-stamped Firebird graphic. A Gibson hardshell case is also included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Features\u003cbr\u003eMahogany Body with the Appearance of a Traditional Neck-Through Firebird Body\u003cbr\u003eGlued In Mahogany Neck with a SlimTaper Profile\u003cbr\u003eRosewood Fretboard with 12\" Radius, 22 Medium Jumbo Frets, and Acrylic Trapezoid Inlays\u003cbr\u003ePlatypus-style Headstock with Six Grover Mini Rotomatic Tuners\u003cbr\u003eTwo Firebird Humbucker Pickups\u003cbr\u003eA Gibson Hardshell Case is Included\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModel: Firebird\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003eBody Style: Firebird\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: Reverse Firebird\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Single Ply, Fretboard\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eProfile: SlimTaper\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 628.65 mm \/ 24.75 in\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 304.8 mm \/ 12 in\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFret Count: 22\u003cbr\u003eFrets: Medium Jumbo\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Graph Tech\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 43.053 mm \/ 1.695 in\u003cbr\u003eEnd of Board Width: 57.404 mm \/ 2.26 in\u003cbr\u003eInlays: Acrylic Trapezoid\u003cbr\u003eJoint: Glued In, Set Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardware\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Chrome\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece: Aluminum Stop Bar\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines: Grover Mini Rotomatic\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: White 3-Ply\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Adjustable\u003cbr\u003eControl Knobs: Gold Top Hat with Silver Reflector\u003cbr\u003eSwitch Tip: White\u003cbr\u003eStrap Buttons: 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElectronics\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pickup: Firebird Mini Humbucker\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup: Firebird Mini Humbucker\u003cbr\u003eControls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone\u003cbr\u003ePickup Selector: 3-Way Toggle\u003cbr\u003eOutput Jack: 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMiscellaneous\u003cbr\u003eStrings Gauge: .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003cbr\u003eCase: Hardshell\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Includes Gibson Accessory Kit","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53028947132725,"sku":"711106155463","price":3399.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/5384\/5301\/files\/DSFRP00TBCH1_front_87fba3a5-b756-462f-a7ba-36378f7a3e84.jpg?v=1782441986","url":"https:\/\/musiquediplomate.com\/products\/gibson-firebird-platypus-tobacco-sunburst","provider":"Centre de Musique Diplomate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
