#009 2000 Gibson
Byrdland.
Don't they look great?
But that's where the comparison ends.
Fabulous woods and
highly polished hence all the reflections.
Before I bought my '65
Byrdland I considered buying a new one.
Rosetti sent one for me to try but it was hard work and came
fitted with appalling strings. I have a
thing about strings - probably the second most
important choice for a guitarist.
Years later I found
this one in New York. I thought I would
give it another try. When you have had a'
65 a 2000 just can't compare!
