Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Korena's take on this 1965 Non-Reverse Firebird V reissue centers on its 12-string layout and a period-focused Gibson Custom build. The mahogany body and neck join a 22-fret Indian rosewood fingerboard, while two Firebird Alnico 5 mini-humbuckers feed individual volume and tone controls. A traditional 1960s slim taper C profile, 1.6875-inch nut width, and 24.75-inch scale define the playing platform. It arrives with a Custom Shop hardshell case.

- Players seeking a right-handed electric guitar with twelve strings and individual pickup volume and tone controls.
