I played this for hours on Sunday morning after a great party in Bristol hosted by a friend I have met on the Gibson forums called Roger. It is a 1963 Gibson Byrdland and I am getting butterflies thinking about how it sounded..that is how good it was!

LOL, the first thing I thought when I saw that first picture was Ted! That is an awesome guitar as well.

Now that I've got the Gretsch, I am amazed at how Ted manages to control the feedback of his guitars... absolutely amazing!

whats it like transfering from solidbody to hollow? I've only ever owned solidbody electrics, a nice gretsch is very tempting though...

It's kind of nice actually. It's a bit bigger, depth-wise, but the action is still pretty low. It is tough to control feedback on a dirty setting though.
