Epiphone Byrdland (open book)

[sbeishline]

Probably a rare bird, but curious if anyone knows where I can find an Epi Byrdland with the open book style headstock in natural.
Thx!

If you're referring to the headstock, probably a Japanese seller as that's the only place I've seen those marketed.

One of those?
Did you find one?

As you said an Epiphone Elite/Elitist Byrdland with "Open-Book" headstock is very rare. Those intrumenst were for internal Japanese market only.




Even more rare the "Orville By Gibson" Byrdland which I suppose were built in very low numbers for a very short period.

I wonder if that has the smaller neck. Hard to tell from the pics. Maybe the shorter scale but normal width?

Nope, never did.

I’m going to try to hold out for the blonde reissue Gibson L5 CT with single neck pickup that was sold at Norman’s a while back that exists on the planet somewhere.
