I'm not exactly an expert, but I don't think it's a Gibson Firebird; close, though.

The headstock definitely looks like a vintage Fender headstock, but you can't see a Fender decal on it in the closeup. Plus, I don't think Fender made any guitars with that body style, so it's maybe some custom thing?

Vintage Fender Telecaster:
