McGuinn Glasses
Does anyone know where I could buy a pair of Roger McGuinn glasses? They seem to be as hard to find as authentic Buddy Holly Fiosa glasses.

Well, these don't have colored lenses, but they're cheap:

These aren't quite the same shape, but are colored, also cheap:

Here's some more, in multiple colors. Not quite as square as McGuinn's though:

If they don't need to be prescription, that'll help.

Re: McGuinn Glasses
Thanx for all the help! I used to see these glasses for sale back as late as the mid '70s. Funny that they're so scarce now. I may be able to make the clear lens "Granny" ones work if I can find something blue to replace the lenses with!

You can go to any type of eye wear store and they can dye it for you.

Re: McGuinn Glasses
Thanks Henry! I'll give one of the glasses places a call. Can they dye both glass and plastic lenses?

Re: McGuinn Glasses
I'm surprised these aren't easier to find.
Re: McGuinn Glasses
I'd love some if these too. Roger had the coolest glasses ever!

I'm looking for some quality frames in this style for my regular glasses.
Re: McGuinn Glasses
I saw some for sale in Pensacola, Fl. years ago, but didn't buy a pair.
