Gibson Firebird I
Aftermarket Price History
Used-market sales only. Brand New listings excluded.
The Firebird I is the lean, focused end of the Firebird line and has a following precisely because it does less. Buyers come for the shape and the single-pickup bluntness, not for versatility. The best used examples still feel defiantly minimal rather than merely under-equipped.

Market Report
Used examples typically trade between $2,275 and $3,875; anything under $2,275 is worth a close look. Price variance is high — individual sales can move the market, so check recent comps before committing.
This model rarely comes to market at ~3/month. When one does appear, expect less room to negotiate on price.

Two-pickup step up: vibrola and a second mini-humbucker — the most popular Firebird spec.
Current production Firebird at a lower price: two pickups without the Firebird I's limited single-pickup brief.
Original-orientation design at a similar price: the 1963 body shape for buyers drawn to the rarer variant.
