The Gibson Firebird Non-Reversed is a variant of Gibson's distinctive Firebird design featuring a standard (non-reversed) body and headstock orientation, differing from the original 1963 reverse-body Firebird design. Introduced in the mid-1960s as a cost-effective redesign, the non-reverse Firebird uses conventional set-neck construction and mini-humbucker pickups, delivering a bright, distinctive tone within Gibson's more visually unconventional body shape.
The Ibanez S470 is a modern high-performance electric guitar delivering bright, articulate tone with excellent sustain. Its premium pickups and responsive construction provide excellent lead clarity. The S470 appeals to rock and metal players seeking modern instruments.
