Here I am with my silverburst. She matches my hair and beard. No greenish tint at all.

Doesn't silverburst from that Gibson era turn greenish anyway as the clearcoat yellows? 

Yes it does.
Which makes this silverburst body a (recent) refin.

Great pic Dave!

A friend/former bandmate of mine had a silverburst Flying V guitar from I think '78. Wasn't it some kind of anniversary for Gibson? I love it until it turns green.

Make no mistake: By recommendation of his PR agency, Dave rents that dog for pictures. Makes him look more gentle. Old trick.  :-X

Mine turned pretty green, but in this pic it doesn't look so bad.  Believe me, it was unmistakably green-tinged.  The flash makes it look much better than it actually was.

She does make me more gentle. Dogs have proven health benefits.
