1965 Gibson Firebird III
Call
Well Strung Guitars
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...

Well Strung Guitars
This all-original 1964 Gibson Firebird III in custom color Pelham Blue is so well preserved! Pelham Blue, as well as any custom finish, is pretty rare to come across on any Firebird, much less an early reverse style like this one.

We love custom-ordered, one-off guitars, and this 1967 Gibson Barney Kessel Custom in Sunburst has us drooling! This model was a bit different from most of Gibson’s offerings at the time, with a scale length customarily seen on Fender guitars (25-½”). This definitely gives a different sound and...

Well Strung Guitars
How crazy is it to see Argentine Grey on this 1960 Gibson ES-345TD?! We absolutely love the look of this finish, especially on this model with gold hardware. This color was an older Gibson acoustic finish that ended up making its way to a few guitars and basses in the late 50s/early 60s. It’s...

1956 Gibson Les Paul Special

Well Strung Guitars
We love a 1956 Gibson Les Paul Special in TV Yellow, especially when it has a vibe like this one! This finish has taken on a hint of amber, which couples so well with its fine weather checking and light edgewear. After some issues with the bridge posts in the previous design, from 1956 on this...

This 1965 Epiphone Wilshire is shown in what we believe to be an original Inverness Green finish.
