If you're a player, this could be an attractive opportunity to own a vintage reverse Firebird at a meaningful discount.
Okay, this one can be had at a bargain price compared to comparable Firebird V's due to a repaired body break. Pictured near controls. Hard to tell exactly what happened here. Possibly it fell over with a guitar cord in the jack? Anyway, there are 7 small doweled holes in the bottom wing and this repaired break of some kind. The pots are all replaced with CTS pots from 1973. Everything else appears to be original to the guitar including pickups, tuners, frets and hardware. Thankfully, no headstock or neck breaks.

The 1964 Gibson Firebird is a highly coveted vintage guitar renowned for its futuristic reverse body design by Ray Dietrich, neck-through mahogany/walnut construction, and proprietary high-clarity mini-humbuckers.
 
Comes with later era 90's Gibson hardshell case.

Original 1964 reverse Firebird V, one of Gibson's most desirable vintage models.
Original features reportedly include:
Mini-humbucker pickups
Banjo tuners
Hardware
Frets
Neck-through construction
No headstock or neck breaks, which is a major plus for a Firebird of this era.
Includes a 1990s Gibson hardshell case.
 
Repaired body break on the lower wing near the output jack.
All four potentiometers have been replaced with CTS pots dated 1973.
This means the electronics are no longer completely original, although 1973 CTS pots are vintage components.
 
Impact on Value
For a 1964 reverse Firebird V:
A clean, all-original example commands a substantial premium.
A repaired body wing generally affects value less than a headstock or neck repair, especially if the repair is stable and professionally done.
Replaced pots also reduce collector value but have less impact than replacement pickups or a refinished guitar.
 
Serial Number
