My Grandmother was friends with Jimmy Page's girlfriend in 1960. She met her through a friend as she attended the Loreto Grammar School. Apparently all the boys used to divert their way home so they could walk past and meet girls. She worked at Manchester Airport afterwards and was put in the VIP lounge. She met Clapton, Hendrix, Ringo and Herman's Hermits loads of others too. The 60s sounded ace. Sorry to drivel on, thought you guys would appreciate this though.
Joseph, great story. There wasn't the camera phones etc around back in the day so lots and lots of human contact moments are lost. Wee 'clips' like this are gems from an awesome musical era.
Really.....REALLY....beautiful restoration! And nice to hear Allen Collins get a mention. Wish he and Ed King received more recognition. Thanks Matthew.
The dings mean it's worth playing! I've been a Thunderbird fan since before I bought my first in 1982, and a Firebird even longer than that. You did a perfect restoration here.
This wait did not disappoint. That guitar is absolutely gorgeous 😍 and those may be called minihumbuckers but there's nothing mini about that tone! She's a screamer!
Oh man it’s like Christmas on TH-cam today everyone’s uploading some great guitar stuff today! Thanks for making it even better, that firebird sounds great! That color is awesome too!
Bubby Flippu lol have you seen the size of the cabs Matt has ? I reckon there’s people the next suburb over that can probably hear him if he cranked it
Awesome restoration! I love the colour, great choice! 👏👌This has to be one of the most beautiful looking guitars, and the year is my birth year. Would make a great birthday gift! 🎁🎸🎉😆😜
Lemme just say, that is not a color I would have chosen myself, BUT seeing it I’d have to say that is STUNNING! Great color for a Firebird, and I love you’ve kept so much of it’s unique character intact. Really, really well done.

man your tone is so fucking nice, I always thought I kind of knew what nice tone was until I started watching your videos and realized I know absolutely nothing. Your incredible playing doesn't hurt either. love your content mate!
i really like how you went in between the 1 and 3 specs, i believe Allen collins's first firebird from lynyrd skynyrd was a 1 that had a second pickup added in later, love the color too, not one i would have picked but it turned out looking great! looking forward to hearing some skynyrd through it!
I'm just a sucker for the natural/original look on these guitars. That said though the colour you've chosen complements the lines of the guitar too, colour or not the tone/sound from your guitar is absolutely delicious. If you haven't already seen it I suggest you check out on you tube Lynyrd Skynyrd in Knebworth (think they were on before the Stones) doing "Free bird". The sound of that guitar was phenomenal, I thought was an Explorer he was using??. Anyway, I'm off to check. That song always moves me, but that version/rendition especially. Enjoy. ❤✌🤙
@@estaban3248 he played firebirds early in skynyrds career then explorers later on. The concert you are referencing was later after Ed quit and was replaced by Steve Gaines. Hope this is helpful
Killer sound. Definitely leans a bit more Fender than standard Gibson but then I suppose that's exactly what they were looking for in the 60s when they brought them out
Love that sound. You really have a good ear for how guitars should sound and how to get it. Congrats on the restoration. I think it was worth the wait.
I've got a pretty good guitar collection (over 20) but a '60s Firebird is my white whale. I've been waiting years to find the right color, year, etc.. So jealous... but grateful I got to hear his. Stay safe everyone. Cheers.

Its a mojoAXE tailpiece and the dings on the guitar were from me. Thanks for watching.
Wondered if you had seen this little gem. th-cam.com/video/o5R_7unuvPI/w-d-xo.html

Awesome story! Thanks for sharing 🤘🏽🎸
Killer story. Thanks for sharing.
Dude...half the fun of playing music is the people we meet and the stories we remember...rock on my brother!!!
Joseph, great story. There wasn't the camera phones etc around back in the day so lots and lots of human contact moments are lost. Wee 'clips' like this are gems from an awesome musical era.
That's a great story thanks for sharing 👍
This guitar is absolutely legendary. I feel lucky to have been a small part of the story. That's an incredible guitar my dude.
Thanks for your help Des.

Drooling over that front pickup!
I like it. Nice job restoring it to the way you wanted it.
That was a journey. Nicely done. Looks excellent.
That color completely rocks!
wow !...speechless, just friggin awsome
The Firebird pickup is one of a kind. Smooth tones.
I've always loved the sound of a Firebird, but they never really caught my eye... Until now!
This changes my mind!
All that wood on the firebird gives an awesome tone
That first chord just sounds awesome!
Heather Poly. Great color! I’m getting ready to paint one of my Strats that color.
This channel is my 2020's best find.
Beautiful' ...amazing colour, superb tone, great work'
That’s a keeper! Don’t let it go!
Glad you chose that color
Cool color! That turned out nice! Thanks for sharing!
Firebird rocks...love the color!
❤️ The color and the sound ✌🏻
That colour looks amazing great job
I dig the color. Reminds me of 1950s car colors.
holy moly the sustain on that is insane
Lemme just say, that is not a color I would have chosen myself, BUT seeing it I’d have to say that is STUNNING! Great color for a Firebird, and I love you’ve kept so much of it’s unique character intact. Really, really well done.
Matthew, I appreciate how you care for these pieces of history.
Beautiful and tasteful job, Matthew. Well done.
That colour👌🏻😍🔥 AND TONE...
Beautiful refinish. Wow! 👍🏻
That fuzz tone is something else
Mike currently has my Firebird! It was black and he is making it into a sunburst for me! So pumped
The Firebird almost sustains forever...the sound is so sweet, your licks gave me goose bumps. Thank you man !
Great job! Spectacular tone (and fingers!). Thanks!
Love it dude. That colour. That sound. Amazing!!
The tone on that bride pickup. My god, deep, warm, and still so articulate, it's got such a nice "bite." I'm so jealous lol!
Great job, great fiddle. TONE FOR DAYS
OOOOOPPPPPHH NICE...!!! What a sound...!!
Love everything about it. I have a FB V refined in Silver Mist. It just slays me every day I play it.
Man!... Nothing sounds like a good vintage guitar!
I liked it how it first arrived, but she's certainly a beauty now as well!
I feel the same about the way it looked originally
Love the finish and the tone. Wow the sustain!
Wow it was worth the wait. THATS DEFINITELY A KEEPER!
What a Rocker... Good Job Matthew...
I really dig the color! Looks and sounds great.
That color sounds awesome.
You guys did a awesome job and 64 the year I was born. I was lucky to grow up through some of the greatest time for music.

Yes, that is my father that you are referring to. I actually did the finish work on this particular project.
Always love your tonal video journey! Thanks!
man your tone is so fucking nice, I always thought I kind of knew what nice tone was until I started watching your videos and realized I know absolutely nothing. Your incredible playing doesn't hurt either. love your content mate!
As a long time Firebird player and appreciator; your guitar is gorgeous.
That's really cool,man! I SUPERRRR jelly! I love Firebirds!

You know I'll be playing some Skynyrd👍🏻
Allen also added a p-90 in the bridge position, pretty unique but man did it sing.

Any time I see a Firebird I think of Allen and I always will.
Looks like the same color of my Dads 1957 Chevrolet 4 door Belair. Really turned out nice Matt...great sounding through You Tube...
Incredible tone machine. Congrats
Great bird. Gotta love them. Good job. Peace and love.☮️🎸
Truly amazing job. Proud of you
Excellent! Color and tone - sublime!
Glad to see you're back, man. I already was hoping all is well with you. That guitar is absolutely stunning.
Fantastic! Love that finish... may it bring you years of joy!!!!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous. You made the right choices all the way around.
Killer sound. Definitely leans a bit more Fender than standard Gibson but then I suppose that's exactly what they were looking for in the 60s when they brought them out
This is the sound!
It looks great! Thank you for sharing.
It looks very handsome in that colour!
Good job Matthew.
Love that guitar. Great sound. I have a V 1965 and it's my favorite guitar.
Great Re-Store job. Birds always sound so sharp and articulate. Awesome!!
Brilliant refurb looks and sounds great!
Beautiful guitar! Perfectly done.
Love that sound. You really have a good ear for how guitars should sound and how to get it. Congrats on the restoration. I think it was worth the wait.
Looks great and sounds wonderful.
Finish and tone are outstanding!
Sounds great! Always wanted a Firebird, I keep thinking of Johnny Winter
Applause and Congratulations!!!!!! Looks and sounds, flawless!!!!

LOVE the color!
Looks great and sounds great too.
LOVE the color. It's somewhere between reddish to violet-ish to pinkish-coral depending on the light and angle. Very unique and super cool.
Looks great! Enjoy it! Rock on! And, take care and stay safe.
This project turned out incredibly!
That is one cool Firebird. I love the color. Great tone too!
Nice job on the resto. Sounds great as well
That guitar is SUPER dope!
