Thank you for your consideration of this historic semi hollow body Florentine cutaway Gibson Electric Spanish Byrdland guitar with a historic connection to one of its two inventors Billy Byrd. 1963 Gibson Brydland serial number 63XXX believed to be owned and used by Billy Bryd circa 1963 and later. Incredible brown to yellow sunburst finish, wide at the nut melt in your hand neck shape with factory large frets with plenty of wear left. Two early patent sticker Humbuckers to die for, very loud with great bandwidth, gold plating still intact starting to display wear, original Bigsby displays some wear and turned green in places where touched by Billy. Super clean all original with “Custom” truss rod cover may have been some indication of special order with Bigsby model. A Byrdland is basically a short scale George Gobel model, a thin body, short scale L-5 with two pickups. Has light weather checking in places, almost no signs of playing wear, no cracks or repairs. Comes with original Gibson large pebble black hard shell case with yellow interior.
