Tony, I hope you don't mind that I saved that picture!

Hey Kevin, No I don't mind. Thanks for asking though!

Interesting to see the '67 appears to have the darker Fireglo shade, usually later in the year, rather than the lighter shade that usually is more prevalent. Or is it the lighting Tony?

Hey Andy, Hmmm...the '67 seems to photograph a little darker than it really is.

There is no ambering of the clear coat on this bass. Maybe it looks redder because of the lack of yellowing of the clear coat...? 

The lighting is not the best in that room. I get much better results from natural lighting. I'll take some outdoor shots in a little...

Here are some outdoor shots...

To have a better idea of the timeline, the '67 & '68 are both June. The '69 is February.

Yummy!

Just a totally fab and beautiful set.

The indoor shots just don't do the Fireglo's justice.

They do look sweet outdoors Kevin, like Lollypopglo's!

Here are some pics of the backs...

What's the serial of the '67 Tony?

Certainly appears to have the later, darker shading like the '68's. All quite fabulous...

...sn is GF 3136.

Now that's some Fireglo, big peghead goodness!

Wow! Great group shot Tony!

Thanks Tony.

I think it is the lighting. You can see that early, lighter shade there, it just appears slightly darker than some others from that early '67 window, but seeing as they are all hand sprayed, no surprise!

Here are pics of the volutes.

The '69 is the same as the '68.

Gorgeous, Tony! Congratulations on such a fine collection
