Gibson Byrdland Custom Crimson Edition (2015)

---

On consignment: The Byrdland! Gibson's finest craftsmanship since 1955! Many guitarists did not desire the bulk of a traditional archtop guitar such as Gibson's L-5. The Byrdland, with its overall depth of 2¼-in, is thinner than the L-5's 3" depth. In 1954 Gibson's president Ted McCarty sought opinions and ideas about new products. The suggestions from Tom Byrd and Hank Garland led to the development of the Byrdland. The Byrdland is essentially a custom built, thinner, L-5CES (Cutaway-Electric-Spanish) with a shorter scale neck. The short scale neck (23½") facilitates intricate single-note patterns and unusual stretched chord voicings.
This fine example is built by the Custom Crimson team. The woods for these guitars are hand selected and only mastergrade. Only the best Gibson Custom Shop luthiers are allowed to be part of the Custom Crimson team and they build these guitars all by hand.
