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. 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! - http://www.dreamguitars.com/products/gibson/gibson_byrdland_a35023/gibson_byrdland_a35023.php
