Named in honor and developed with the input of guitarists Billy Byrd and Hank Garland, Gibson launched the slim hollow body electric Byrdland in the mid-50s. In addition to being the first Thinline model, Billy and Hank requested a narrower 1-5/8" nut and extra short 23-1/2" scale, giving this guitar a unique feel and playing experience! Whether you're small-handed or just want to be able to pull off some unusual chord voicings, this guitar opens up some interesting possibilities. It's currently set-up with buttery flatwound strings.

This guitar is in excellent, all original condition (save for a new nut) with just a few finish dings on the top and light play wear. The pickup covers have been off, but the originals are intact. Comes with its original hardshell case.
