Personal Thoughts:
This 2016 Firebird V T is a standout. The neck-through design gives it a resonance and sustain few guitars can match. With the mini-humbuckers, you get a bright, tight tone that cuts through a mix while still sounding full—ideal for rock, blues, and even funk.
The Steinberger tuners are a smart touch—super precise and sleek looking. It’s lightweight, well-balanced, and has that unmistakable Firebird swagger. If you’ve been after a no-nonsense version of a classic, this is the one.
Condition Report:
Mint condition. No noticeable wear, scratches, or fretwear. Hardware is pristine, setup is spot-on, and the finish is glossy and clean. Collector-worthy.
