A truly rare bird(pun intended) in the world of vintage guitars!
Left Handed 1964 Gibson Firebird VII; there were only 173 total Firebird VIIs made in 1964, this may be the only lefty. I've only seen one other Left Handed 63/64 Firebird - that was many years ago, and it had a repaired headstock. This particular example is in EXC condition with no cracks/breaks, and includes the OHSC.
Features were similar on this deluxe model to the LP/SG Custom, with bound Ebony fingerboard and pearl block inlays, 3 Pickups, Gold Plated Nickel Hardware. Also shares the Deluxe Vibrola tailpiece with Lyre-engraved coverplate, and the fully adjustable Tune-O-Matic Bridge of the Firebird V.
And, of course, 1964 the last year for the desirable 1 11/16 wide nut. And last, but not least, it has the REVERSE BODY!
This is a Holy Grail Lefty from Gibson's Golden Era, and certainly among the rarest Left Handed vintage guitars in the world!
