Did some trickery with Snapseed...
Gold wouldn't look bad either.

I agree - Gibson never did a gold T-bird... would be cool.
I bet it would look just like…
2013 Gibson Anniversary Thunderbird in Bullion Gold
Similar to the traditional Gibson Gold Top color…
…except Gibby decided to skip the grain filler step on the open pore mahogany Tbird body, the Gold Tbird paint job is much deeper with multiple clear coats over the Gold paint to level out the finish.
The two side by side…

What hope do I have!What dress, I’m fixating on the legs.
ok, the dress - looks cobalt blue and emerald green (maybe some black backing as well). But the green might just be the reflection of the bass in the sequins.
I have zero issues with colors and shades and hues, but I am viewing the vintage Inverness Green with an iPad, who knows how accurate that is. Looks like faded gold to me. Lighting and backgrounds play a huge part in color accuracy of photos.
Here’s four pics of Shoreline Gold taken under different lighting and background conditions with different cameras by different people…
This one has a slight greenish tint

This one almost looks Cream colored or aged white

That is three colours more than required. Every colour is some combination of red green and blue.
That's a great look! Wear the wig all the time!
I'm inclined to blame TalkBass as the picture was displayed correctly, then later was not. I suspect that the software running the site is having trouble handling some aspect of pictures resulting in not rendering.
The difference in colour is a result of the camera software doing its automagic white balancing. The software is attempting to adjust all the colours for the lighting based on what it guesses white looks like under those conditions. Pictures can look different from computer to computer as well as the vast majority of monitors are not colour profiled to ensure correct colour presentation.What dress, I’m fixating on the legs.

I wish someone would make an older '70s Freightliner Conventional in HO! Have you seen this nice Kenworth and the Peterblit 359 from Brekina?
Sorry, model train dork here.
It's early Thursday.

Addendum: Brekina makes really nice stuff.

It looks like your PUP is even lower than my neck PUP. One day I may try some adjusting on mine (counting each turn very carefully). I hate messing with perfection, but am curious. I like the finish cracks. They are needed to let that monstrous tone out.

. Can't really say "Tone is in the cracks." That just sounds a bit off!They look like they are camera shy.
