This is a very rare and hard to find Elliot Easton Signature Gibson "Tikibird" Firebird that plays and sounds great! The pickguard sports a custom "Tiki" graphic and the electronics include 4 switches underneath the guard for coil splitting, phase switching, and true bypass capabilities. The guitar also features a Bigsby vibrato tail piece and the neck profile has a slim '60s profile.
This guitar is in great shape! It does show some cosmetic wear that includes light surface scratches, scuffs, small dents, and finish chips throughout the body with additional dings on the headstock. The binding has aged from over time and the hardware and pickups are also starting to show some light patina that is consistent with aging. The frets are in great shape with plenty of life and the electronics work as they should.
This guitar is all original.
