Gibson today introduced its new Firebird X guitar at a press event hosted by chairman/CEO Henry Juszkiewicz at New York’s Hard Rock Cafe.

The guitar has an ash body, maple neck, Brazilian marblewood fretboard, and uses Gibson’s Robohead tuners, new FBX pickups, and Tune-O-Matic Robot bridge. The guitar uses Guitar Rig 4 and Ableton Live 8 software to interface with Windows or Mac computers.

It will be available on December 11. For more, go to http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Firebird/Gibson-USA/Firebird-X.aspx
