However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The Gibson Custom Firebird Custom is built from a solid mahogany body, delivering a bold and resonant tone that is full of warmth and character. Without any weight relief, the guitar offers pure, uncompromised sound, maximising sustain and richness across every note. Mahogany’s natural density adds low-end depth while keeping the mids punchy, providing a sound that's brimming with power. Combined with the Firebird's iconic streamlined body shape, it delivers a perfectly balanced feel - ideal for powerful rock leads and smooth melodic work.
Built in Gibson’s esteemed Custom Shop, the Firebird Custom showcases unmatched attention to detail, authenticity, and build quality. Premium appointments like the multi-ply binding, gold-plated hardware, mother of pearl block inlays, and ebony fingerboard set this model apart as a true showpiece. Every detail is carefully considered, from the hand-fitted long tenon neck joint to the flawlessly applied gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The craftsmanship ensures not just stunning aesthetics but also superior stability, resonance, and longevity for years of reliable performance.
Equipped with a 490R humbucker in the neck position and a 498T humbucker in the bridge, the Firebird Custom delivers a powerful and dynamic tonal range. The 490R offers a rich, warm sound with vintage character, perfect for smooth rhythm parts and singing leads. The 498T takes things up a notch with higher output and enhanced midrange bite, giving your solos the cut and presence needed to stand out in any mix. Controlled via two 500K CTS volume pots and two 500K CTS tone pots, along with a 3-way Switchcraft toggle, the Firebird Custom gives you ultimate control over your sound.
The solid ebony fingerboard adds a premium feel and contributes to the guitar’s quick response and articulate tone. Ebony is known for its dense, slick surface, making complex runs, bends, and fast riffs feel effortless under your fingers. With a 12-inch fingerboard radius and medium-jumbo frets, the Firebird Custom offers a smooth, low-action playing experience that suits both intricate solos and heavy chord work. The mother of pearl block inlays not only provide visual elegance but also enhance your fret navigation with clear, stylish markers.
No detail is overlooked when it comes to the Firebird Custom’s hardware. A gold Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece offer rock-solid tuning stability and precise intonation, ensuring that your tone remains consistent across performances. Grover Kidney tuners provide smooth and reliable tuning adjustments, while black speed knobs and a black multi-ply pickguard add a subtle yet classic visual edge. With a 2-way adjustable truss rod, brass strap buttons, and gold-plated pickup covers, every component of the Firebird Custom is designed to offer performance, durability, and style.
