For sale is a 2005 Gibson Firebird V in Classic White, complete with its original hard-shell case.
This is a striking and increasingly rare example of Gibson’s iconic offset design. With its timeless Classic White finish and slim ’60s neck profile, this Firebird V delivers vintage-inspired styling with modern playability. Whether you're a collector or a player, this one stands out.
The guitar is in very good condition, rated a solid 8.5 out of 10. It shows light cosmetic wear including minor dings, light scratches, some discoloration on the back of the headstock and around the pickups, a small crack on the plastic pickguard, and finish checking where the fingerboard meets the neck. There’s also some typical finish wear on the back of the body. These are all cosmetic and purely aesthetic—there are no cracks, repairs, or structural issues.
It has been professionally set up here at Guitar Chimp for clean action and great tone. The neck is straight, and the original frets show minimal wear. Aside from swapped strap buttons, everything on the guitar is original, including the electronics, tuners, and pickups.
The original Gibson hard-shell case is included. It shows visible wear but remains fully functional and protective.
