In this episode of the Vault Sessions, Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke) falls in love with a 1965 Gibson Firebird V Platypus. The guitar screams with its two p-90 pickups… and, the 1977 Dumble Overdrive Special doesn’t hurt either (RIP- Howard Alexander Dumble 1/18/22). The short-run “Platypus” is the transitional model between the original Firebird reverse and the later non-reverse models.
So, we are back! We took a bit of a hiatus from the Vault Sessions while we researched, designed, and built the exhibits for the all new Songbirds Guitar & Pop Culture Museum. After closing due to the pandemic, we reopened our doors in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in September 2021 with an expanded focus on guitar and music history.
Stick with us! We have some great players visiting us this year... so click the subscribe button for updates. Coming soon: Eric Gales, Ana Popovic, Joe Robinson, Andy Timmons, Mark Lettieri, Stuart Mathis, and dozens more. These sessions help keep the music alive by helping the Songbirds Foundation raise money to buy guitars for kids… check out our website to find out more-songbirdsfoundation.org or stop by the Songbirds Guitar & Pop Culture Museum and visit (Wednesday-Sunday 12-6 EST).
