Find great deals on eBay for Gibson Firebird in Electric Guitar

After stripping the tuners off the headstock, I made a start by rubbing away the thick red finish right down to the wood. A lot of repairers would literally have just squeezed glue into the break as it was and just returned the guitar with a smoothed gibson firebird maple wings
 out crack in the paint. To me this was simply not an option, as the owner had informed me that this headstock had been broken and glued once before, when the guitar was new. The Gibson Firebird is one of the most distinctive and iconic models in the company’s long and storied history, as well as one of the most aptly named, as it has risen like a phoenix several times in various configurations over the years.This new break had actually torn apart that original repair, so not only was the area weak, but it was full of old dry glue and damaged wood fibres. For a solid and strong fix it would need cleaning out and this included the edges of the break, so the paint had to come off.
