Gibson Byrdland to L-5 transition and back

[feet]

Like an ES275 maybe ?

i was kinda thinking like somewhere in between a byrdland, a collings soco and a gretsch country club and/or falcon, for whatever reason. they would probably name it after me and it would be the best selling guitar of all time.

Here's my 56 es175, and my 57 Byrdland necks. Lining up the nut of the Byrdland with the the first fret of the 175, and the frets all line up. Capoing the 175 at the first fret gives you the same space between frets, and same scale length as a Byrdland.

just because you prove something doesn't mean its true if the internet disagrees with you.

(ps- you are a fortunate duck)

edit- i played a 24.75 guitar. then i put it down and picked up the byrdland. it is not the same. it does not feel the same. your left hand is in a different place than you are used to it being. everything is a little closer to you.

so how long did it take me to adjust? two... three seconds, maybe?

i do use capos all the time, so i'm used to fewer and squishier frets. and, of course, i own the byrdland. so maybe i'm some how predisposed to accepting and enjoying it. maybe i'm lucky because i don't need it to be my be all, end all instrument for everything i'd ever do. i just pick it up and do byrdland things on it. but it clearly isn't for everyone. its very much its own thing. its like pineapple on your pizza.
