Item Details
Description
Johnny Winter's 1963 Sunburst Firebird is one of the most recognizable guitars in the blues and rock and roll. It was played by Johnny on the Muddy Waters Grammy award-winning albums, which he also produced: "Hard Again" (1977), "Ready" (1978), and "Mississippi Waters Live," (1979). It was used for most of Johnny Winter's own recordings and many of his slide-guitar tunes, right up until his death. Winter played it on the David Letterman show in 2012.

Sunburst finish. Shows many signs of wear and use, including: slightly faded Firebird logo on pick guard, metal shows signs of oxidization, missing tailpiece, paint chipping along both sides of body and verso of fretboard. 3/4" crack at the bottom of front of body.
