Gibson Firebird Non-Reverse
Aftermarket Price History
Used-market sales only. Brand New listings excluded.
The Non-Reverse Firebird is a different argument from the ordinary reverse-body Firebird, not just a collectible variation. It appeals to buyers who specifically want the earlier body logic and the more eccentric, less streamlined personality that comes with it. This page does well when the guitars still feel unapologetically non-reverse instead of being treated as defective reverse Firebirds.
Individual Listings (Used Market)
Used-condition sales and current used listings. Brand New listings excluded.
Market Report
Used examples typically trade between $2,175 and $3,775; anything under $2,175 is worth a close look. Price variance is high — individual sales can move the market, so check recent comps before committing.
This is a slow-moving market at ~5/month. Sellers may wait longer for the right buyer; don't expect a quick flip.
The market isn't particularly condition-sensitive (~6% spread). A player-grade example trades close to a clean one.
