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