Re: McGuinn Glasses
I believe the McGuinn Glasses, are called Pat Boone Sun Glasses. They had a detachable visor that McGuinn probably removed. They were real popular in the mid 60's. They came with a pearl case. There are a few pairs on eBay in green If seen. Bout 125 bucks or so

Re: McGuinn Glasses
How about a psychedelic turban and 3D glasses? A rainbow beard would be good, too.
Re: McGuinn Glasses
I have an old pair of McGuinn grannies that I bought somewhere years ago, and they are in the case pocket of my AutumnGlo Rick 12 at all times. For some reason, that's where they seem to belong, like some weird talisman or good luck charm. I never wear them, because I wear glasses, but being such a raving Byrds fan, having them in that case just seemed like the right thing to do.

Re: McGuinn Glasses
About the McGuinn glasses. Google Madcap England. 40 bucks will get you a pair. Very well made. I bought a pair a few years ago and they look like the real deal.
