Gibson Murphy Lab 1963 Firebird V - Heavy Aged • SN: 301043

When Gibson hired famed automotive designer Ray Dietrich to create a radical new solid body guitar, rock 'n roll history ensued. With its offset shape, neck-through construction, and scorching mini-humbuckers, the '63 Firebird V became an instant classic. The Gibson Custom Shop is proud to present this exacting replica of a vintage original, which uses authentic contours, dimensions and construction methods for an incredible ownership and playing experience. It features Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of natural play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.

That guitar is SO cool ....

[@schultzvil]

Sounds so good, and this one really fits you, Greg. You deserve it, too. And- it fits better to a ‘larger gentleman’. Sounds great 👍🏼

Once you start playing at Tele and have adjusted to the knobs being 2in away from your fingers, you kind of never really go back.

[@tomusic8887]

Just enjoying your wonderfull chops, and this georgious sounding firebird 🤟

[@kenparkin5522]

Can’t play that without a little Johnny Winter.👍

[@karenlamacraft362]

I know the Pelham blues go green due to the clear coat lacquer but frost blue the colour of pea soup,wow

[@jeremyversusjazz]

love you played Gee Baby Aint i Good To You on a Firebird. so greg! i learned Francois Le Duc’s whole transcription of that a couple years ago but never recorded me doing it and forgot the whole thing…sigh. musical memory is a very important gift. i aint got. i wonder how many tunes greg knows by heart and how long the video would be if he played them all stream of consciousness all the way thru?!

[@roba1899]

Any chance of doing a Ren & Stimpy theme intro cover with all these beautiful guit-fiddles flying around and in your hands ?

[@user-eo2qn9yn8l]

Love hearing some cleaner jazz on the bird. Seems like demos are always drowning in distortion

[@pmay222]

did he have an extra coffee before filming this.... very manic for a man of his age........ spanktatstic frenzy

[@jtd3421]

You must be new here

[@singersonspeakerphone2421]

How much for those hands ?

[@georgespencer3973]

No kidding

[@michaelsteven1090]

What is that distortion pedal he always kicks in? I forget..

[@generalreviewer]

It’s one of the drive settings on his custom Koch amp, the Greg.

[@michaelsteven1090]

@@generalreviewer awesome..Thanks for that.

[@barrycooper4006]

Not a true ‘63 sound. Gibson hasn’t got the pups right. They should use the Mojotone Johnny Winter Signature Firebird Pickuos. These are an accurate reproduction of the original ‘63 pups.

[@BlueberryStinkFinger62]

Love your playing but do you have anything else but Gibsons? Like vintage Epiphones or today's Epiphones? With Gibsons you have been showing us relatively the same guitars over and over again for decades..nothing unique about Gibsons really actually boring..

[@michaelsteven1090]

Your boring..

[@AnthonyGoombots]

​@@michaelsteven1090 wasted 20 seconds of your life that you can not get back with a pathetic meaningless reply 😅

[@AnthonyGoombots]

​@michaelsteven1090 oh no one is playing Gibsons anymore buddy it's all epiphone now so get over it and use to it it's not going to change..😂

[@EvanN108]

Only the best for the best

[@BlueberryStinkFinger62]

​@EvanN108 bs buddy Gibsons aren't the best of anything better come into reality no one wants Gibsons anymore

How to annoy the rest of your jazz trio.
