SEL – Little “Byrd”
Fabrication Year: 2022
Full hollow 2″ (50mm) thick body, with short 23″ (584,2mm) scale lenght, inspired by one of my favorite guitar, the ByrdLand.
One of a major complaint about the ByrdLand is often the narrow neck, so I made this one with a regular width neck (43mm). This neck is so pleasing to play!
Laminated top but solid back with bracing like on an acoustic.
The neck is bolted on like on a acoustic guitar, screw are accessible through the neck pickup hole because… Why not! 🙂
The purpose of this guitar was to have a full hollow guitar with short scale not too feedback sensitive, so the top bracing was made heavier than usual.
Pickups are mini humbuckers from McNelly pickups.
