No\" bridge and neck humbuckers with a Gibson \"Pat. No.\" mini humbucker in the middle position. It has been fully rewired with CTS pots, cloth wiring, and Orange Drop Capacitors. The harness is wired where output is heard from the middle pickup and bridge or neck pickup when the pickup selector is set to their respected position. When the pickup selector is in the bridge or neck position, output from the middle pickup is removed by rolling down the the pot that is normally the neck pickup volume. In the middle position, output is heard from all three pickups and is out of phase. Also, when in the middle position, each pickup's volume is independent. This, in turn, results in being able to have output from the middle pickup only.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Measurements: \u003c\/b\u003eN\/A due to schematic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware: \u003c\/b\u003eOriginal tuners, nut, bridge, pickguard, and tremolo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e9 lbs 3 oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCosmetic Condition: \u003c\/b\u003eThis vintage Firebird is in good cosmetic condition with moderate wear throughout. The headstock has suffered a break. Three mahogany dowels were installed along the crack in an attempt to fortify the repair. The finish displays checking, dings, dents, chips, and scratches throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModifications\/Repairs: \u003c\/b\u003e-The guitar has been refretted. The binding was removed and then reinstalled post refret to preserve the original look of the instrument. \r\n-Originally, the guitar comprised of two mini humbuckers. The modification of this instrument involved enlarging the bridge and neck routes to fit normal sized humbuckers and adding a third route in the middle to accompany the mini humbucker. All three pickups are era correct \"Pat. No.\" sticker humbuckers. \r\n-Full rewire with CTS 500k pots, cloth wiring, and Orange Drop capacitors. Each pickup has its own master volume and the entire harness utilizes a single master tone pot. In the middle position, the pickups are out of phase with the ability to introduce or remove each pickup from the signal path making it able to have output from each pickup alone if so desired.\r\n-The headstock suffered a break and was repaired properly. It is stable and does not effect playability. Three mahogany dowels were installed along the crack in an attempt to strengthen the repair. \r\n-A third strap button was installed on the bass horn. \r\n-Non-original truss rod nut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial Number: \u003c\/b\u003e#212560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTech Notes: \u003c\/b\u003eThis Firebird plays well with low action and optimal neck relief.

The instrument is being dated to 1964 based of the serial number.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase Details: \u003c\/b\u003eHardshell Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838432960831,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G34488034","price":4398.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/gibson-electric-guitars-solid-body-gibson-firebird-iii-sunburst-1964-gibson-firebird-iii-sunburst-1964-u6969587501-1152501837.jpg?v=1782094238","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/gibson-firebird-iii-sunburst-1964-2267441","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
