Joe Bonamassa "Treasure" Firebird 1 outfit was closely modeled after Joes original 1963 Firebird. Joe worked closely with Epiphones legendary luthiers in Nashville, Tennessee to recreate his rare single pickup Firebird that was made in the first year of the guitars production at the Epiphone & Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan. And according to Joe, the new Epiphone Treasure Firebird 1 far exceeded his expectations. The guitar is called Treasure as its based on the 63 Firebird that was graciously gifted to me 4 years ago, said Bonamassa. We A/B'd the new Epiphone with my two original 63s. The Epi's play and sound better! Ugh... I just paid $12,000 for one! Reverse Firebird body shape Original Thru-Neck Construction The new Epiphone Ltd. Ed. Joe Bonamassa "Treasure" Firebird 1 outfit features a Mahogany body with a 9-piece Laminated Mahogany/Walnut neck with a period-correct early 1960s Rounded C profile measured after Joes original. Epiphone improved on the vintage neck design by including a dual action adjustable truss rod. The Firebird was the first electric guitar to feature thru-neck construction along with the iconic Reverse Firebird body shape. The neck has a Rosewood fingerboard with a 14 radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, classic Dot inlays, and a 24.75 scale length. This Treasure Firebird 1 comes finished in Tobacco Sunburst.
