❌SOLD❌ Gibson Byrdland Thinline Archtop Electric Natural, 1976

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Byrdland Thinline Archtop Electric Natural, 1976

The Gibson Byrdland appeared in 1955 as a custom order for Billy Byrd and Hank Garland. These two were top Nashville session guitarists who wanted full archtop tone, but in a more comfortable thinner body and a shorter scale length – 23.5 inches, rather than Gibson’s standard 24.75 inches – to allow easier access to complex chords fingerings. The Byrdland was the first of Gibson’s thinline archtop guitars, with many more to follow. The design was so successful that it was quickly promoted to production status.

The Gibson Les Paul Double Cut Standard, sporting a lovely AA+ Flamed Maple top and Wine Red finish, is built during 2016 in Nashville, Tennessee. The Les Paul Double Cut is based on the mid-1958 Gibson Les Paul Special, which used a double-cutaway, Mahogany slab body.

❌SOLD❌ Heritage H-575 Antique Natural, 1994

❌SOLD❌ Heritage H-575 Antique Natural, 1994

The Heritage H-575, built at the historic Parsons Street plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan takes visual cues from the classic Gibson ES-175, but there are major differences in construction and materials. When Gibson introduced the ‘ES’ or ‘Electric Spanish’ designation, archtops were the most commonly used models on bandstands because of their superior volume and projection.

❌SOLD❌  Rickenbacker Model 330 FireGlo, 2014

Here is a lovely Rickenbacker Model 330 FireGlo thinline hollow body electric, in very nice original condition, dating to the first week of December 2014. Like all other Rics it was built at the Santa Ana, California facility.
The Rickenbacker Model 330 is one of my all time favourite guitars, with a dramatic yet practical design – it’s hard to get a successful combination of those two aspects!
