What We Think

Condition: Used, Very Good

SP Luthier Notes: The bridge was repositioned. All frets were replaced with spec-correct fretwire, then dressed and polished.

The 1974 Gibson Byrdland is a classic hollowbody that delivers a warm, articulate voice with a smooth, refined feel. Its spruce top and maple body create a balanced response with clear highs, focused lows, and excellent note definition. The slim neck profile and shorter scale give it a fast, effortless playing feel, while the flatwound strings complement the guitar’s naturally mellow character. Finished in gloss sunburst nitro, it carries the elegant look and feel that made the Byrdland a longtime favorite among jazz players. Warm, resonant, and incredibly expressive, this Byrdland has a timeless voice with plenty of vintage charm.

About Manufacturer

Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
