Description
A truly amazing sounding Byrdland with a gorgeous natural acoustic resonance & warm, rich tones from the pair of humbuckers. The flame maple figuring in the back of the body & neck is absolutely stunning & really pops against the sunburst finish. Superb playability thanks to a pro set up from the experts at Cream City Music. To purchase one of these brand new today would cost about $10,000, so here's a wonderful opportunity to own a very clean one for a fraction of that price!
