Manufacturer's ID: DSFRP00VECH1

In early 1965, the original Firebird™ design transitioned through several different iterations. One of the significant transitions that occurred flipped the headstock to the “Non-Reverse” shape. Unlike the original Reverse design, which featured a two-layered headstock with a holly veneer, the new headstock was flat, like the bill of a platypus.

The Platypus-style Firebird featured six-in-line tuners rather than banjo-style, as seen on previous Firebirds. The Firebird Platypus pays tribute to those rare transitional models. It features a mahogany body with a glued-in, set neck and the appearance of a traditional neck-through Reverse Firebird body. The mahogany neck has a SlimTaper™ profile and a rosewood fretboard and sports the Platypus-style headstock with Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners. The Platypus-style headstock has been slightly modified to provide straight string pull for less friction and improved tuning stability.

The Firebird is one of the most distinctive-looking guitar designs ever, and the Firebird Platypus takes this legendary guitar a step further with its unique appearance. Its tone is just as unique due to its two articulate, historically accurate Firebird mini humbucker™ pickups with Alnico 5 magnets that can deliver nearly bell-like chime when played clean and great rock and blues tones that easily cut through the mix when pushed. Individual volume and tone controls allow you to tailor the sound even further, and of course, the pickguard features the legendary hot-stamped Firebird graphic. A hardshell case is also included.
