What we say:

At A Glance:

The Murphy Aged Johnny Winter 1964 Firebird V in Polaris White is a replica of Johnny's legendary guitar and has been crafted by Gibson Custom Shop. As you'd expect, the Custom Shop has pulled out all the stops to make sure this guitar did justice to the legacy of the late great Blues & Rock master, Mr Johnny Winter. The attention to detail is a sight to behold and it certainly sounds the part too!

It has been crafted from a 9-ply mahogany/walnut neck-through-body and mahogany wings, giving it a robust construction that sings with sustain. We applaud Gibson's vision and authenticity as they've produced a remarkable recreation here.

Features We Love:

Accurate Replica

This 1964 Firebird V isn't just based on Johnny's guitar but is a precise replica of the one he owned and loved. Notable features include the plugged holes from where the Maestro Vibrola was removed, the faded iconic Firebird logo and even the lack of a reflector on the rhythm tone pot.  It doesn't get much more convincing than this!

Murphy Lab Custom-Aged

Each Murphy Lab guitar is painstakingly aged to look and feel like a guitar you've owned for years. In this case, it captures the spirit of Johnny's bashed and chipped Firebird. The aging process under Tom Murphy's guidance has taken a leap forward, with the new nitrocellulose lacquer recreating the look of a guitar that has spent years in and out of its case with its wood moving to create that authentic checking and highly accurate recreation.

Alnico 5 Firebird Pickups

These pickups make sure that a well-voiced Blues tone is well within your grasp. Plug into your amp of choice, add some gain, and you have Rock power on hand too. There's a special quality to these pickups that set them apart from everything else. They have a strong top end presence that can really deliver an aggressive tone when needed.

Highlights:

  • A highly accurate replica
  • Benefits from Murphy Lab Custom Aged finish
  • Comes with extra goodies including an 8x10 photograph signed by legendary photographer Mick Rock
  • Historically accurate specs throughout
