Gibson reissued the FIREBIRD VII from 2002 - 2008 as part of the Designer Collection. It had a design similar to the original Firebird VII - including the reverse body and headstock. Pickups were high output ceramic mini-humbuckers
The Gibson "1965 Firebird VII Reissue" was also available at the same time as this model - but this was a Gibson Historic Designer / Custom Shop model and had different pickups, finishes and neck profile - even more closely matching the original.
