Don’t let the patina fool you; this original 1965 Gibson Firebird III is not green – it’s aged Silver Mist Poly! This guitar was very clearly played in smokey bars or exposed to sunlight in some way, as the aging of the clear coat is shockingly consistent! You can still see traces of the...

Finds like this never get old for us, and this 1964 Firebird I with a transitional Platypus headstock is definitely no exception! The “Platypus” style headstock wasn’t rolled out until early 1965 with the introduction of the “Non-Reverse” Firebird, so this showed Gibson was already playing around...
