1980 Gibson Byrdland Greenburst

Sold!
Description

This one of a kind Gibson Byrdland was custom ordered in 1980. Supposedly this was ordered by or for Al Hurricane who was a well known singer from New Mexico. In addition to the Greenburst finish this guitar was ordered with a the Gibson branded "flip out" Schaller tuners. When we got this guitar it was equipped with a bigsby, but we re-installed the original tailpiece. The bigsby didn't leave any holes in the top, but there are a few extra screw holes by the end pin which are covered by the correct Byrdland tailpiece. The guitar is in excellent overall condition with only very light play wear. The greenburst finish in extremely rare - although this is the only Byrdland we have seen with this finish, we have seen the finish on an Explorer and a Les Paul Custom. The guitar must have been pre-drilled for Grover imperials before it was finished Greenburst as the outline of the filled screw holes from those tuners can be seen under the original finish on the back of the headstock. The guitar plays and sounds excellent, and it comes with the original hardshell case.
