Meet "Myron".....

[mc2NY]

...Myron Goldbird.  UNbroken neck too

[Spiritbass]

Well met. He is quite a handsome fellow! Is this a Gibson color I've not heard of before or a custom refinish?

[Dave W]

It was a regular Firebird color, IIRC identical to Fender's Shoreline Gold.

That's got to be a rare one. I don't remember seeing a Thunderbird in that color before.

[Bionic-Joe]

I Like it!!!

[TBird1958]

He's Badass!

If you need some pics of Myron being played by a flambouyant drag queen..........

Ha, Dave was fooled!!! It's a refin, but a very well-aged one.

[Chris P.]

Wow! I NEEEEED a one pickup Bird once...

[mc2NY]

C'mon Uwe....be fair.  I clued you in ahead of time

Yes, it IS an unbroken '64 'bird I got that someone had stripped at some point and BRUSH PAINTED clear over....so after thinking "what '64 'bird color would REALLY be unusual," this was the result. Looks pretty legit with the aging, no?  I figured THIS would be the best place to see if it passed the sniff test.

Everyone kept telling me that I HAD to refin it in a transparant color to show off the unbroken neck....but I decided to commit sacrilege and go with a rare solid color off the '64 Gibson custom 'bird chart. I got documentation and "before" detail shots from the painter to document the neck was never broken/repaired, in case I ever get rid of it.

[Barklessdog]

Love it!

very unusual

Beautiful Bird! Still interested in pgs? Sadly a unbroken bird is just a broken bird waiting to happen   I had unbroken ones for years, I sold the last off about 6 years ago. All my NRs have headstock repairs, funny I still worry about the at gigs just the same.

[mc2NY]

Yes on the pgs! Will give you a call next week.

Fooled? I said it was rare, no way to tell from that pic if it was original. Nice color in any case.

With the price of GOLD nowadays and all those 24/7 TV ads saying to "buy GOLD!!!"....maybe my choice of color was somewhat subliminal?

I also thought that if I ever get too old to play, I can always hang it around my neck on a matching big gold chain and become a rapper

I'm hurting Scott's business, I know  , but I'd leave the dilapidated pg on - adds to the vintage vibe.
