This rare Byrdland comes from 1960, the first year they introduced the pointed Florentine cutaway. This blonde beauty is in great condition, the setup on this guitar is perfect and it plays like a dream. The Byrdland designs features a short 23.5″ scale which makes for easy reach and joyful bending. This one has that distinctive Byrdland sound and Al and I both love it.
The Byrdland is an iconic guitar in the Gibson lineup. The goal of the Byrdland was to combine a short scale with a full 17" body. The rest as they say is history. The Byrdland became a favorite among both jazz and blues players who enjoyed the easy string tension and shorter reach. A pleasant side effect of the short scale was that the pickups are closer to one another than usual which made for the Byrdland sound. This beauty is in excellent condition and plays perfectly over the entire fingerboard. This one is a blast to play, it may be true that blondes have more fun! 
I always dreamed of owning a guitar just like this one when I was playing rock and blues. My 335 was great, but this was the top of the line. | Scale Length | 23.5000 in |
