The Byrdland, born in the 1950s as Gibson's flagship model.
Based on the L-5, the top-tier full-hollow body model, it adopted a thinner, synline body structure and a shorter scale length to pursue even greater playability. Since its introduction in 1955, it has been celebrated as an iconic Gibson model.
Its imposing 17-inch body boasts a sleek silhouette with a thickness reduced to just 2 1/4 inches.
The slim neck that feels like it's glued to your hand, combined with the 23 1/2-inch scale length, delivers an unparalleled playing experience that has captivated players across all genres, not just jazz.
Its design also allows for low string action, responding precisely to even the most delicate touch.
And the instrument's greatest charm lies in its original PAF pickups.
The sound produced by this special 1959 manufacturing year is rich with overlapping harmonics, achieving a perfect balance: a focused sound image combined with a softness that never pierces the ear.
The moment you play a single note, you'll feel the passion and craftsmanship of the artisans from over half a century ago in every grain of the sound.
Its tone, combining depth and sweetness, boasts supreme compatibility with jazz, blues, and jazz-blues.
This single instrument reveals why masters like Eric Clapton, Ted Nugent, and David T. Walker cherished it.
The essence of vintage Gibson lives here.
