Nice!! I'm sure it will look better than new after you refinish it back to original specs............ I bought my slightly used 2013 Firebird V 2010 from them. They were nice to work with.

Thanks Guys!!! I just couldn't believe the price I got it for!!!! And even though I prefer the single pickup II's...this is a SCORE!!!!!
When I started working as a Model Maker in 2001, they were using Acrylic Lacquers.....Dupont Lucite...to be exact....They had alll of the pigments and binder and balancer. After a while it dawned on me from doing research that I had better call Dupont and get some of the formula's and mix up some cool colors....The only quart I have left is Pelham Blue....The REAL DEAL!!!!! So..It WILL be like a new Paint job..with the parts polished.....and I will RELIC it myself!!! The Old fashioned way!!! I just REALLY have to take my time.. I have a buddy who still works where I used to at one of the shops who has access to a spray booth.

The old fashioned way meaning, play it for 20 years, I hope

It's taking some time but it will be worth it!!! Got some great tips from My buddy Roy from RS Guitarworks on what I need to do! If I wasn't so broke I'd have RS shoot it....still...wish it was a single pickup.... but hey...only 131 of these were made in 1966......

Thanks...Just waiting for The Pickups to be rewound y Steve Soar.... THUNDER UCK Ranch is the Best for that...in fact...the best repro T bird pickups IMHO.
