Here are a couple more killer 1964 TBirds with matching custom color headstocks I had in my photo files...Black and Cardinal Red.

Gibson did them both ways.



But wait, the headstocks are also pointed in different directions, one up and one down!

Pretty sure the Cardinal Red belongs to one of our own ;)










It's SO SEXY!

Yeah....it popped up on EBAY maybe a year or two back and someone snagged it direct, if I recall?

Looked original and real nice.

Those two NRs are to die for! I wish the pics were higher resolution.
