It hasn't been Byrd-wired since I got it in '88 - hindsight is 20/20, but I've rewired the guitar three times since then (it's now at stock/"normal"). The Byrd wiring reminded me of Gretsch wiring; some neat ideas but only 2-3 useful sounds.k43rover wrote:kennyhowes wrote: My 370/12 was made in '81 and came with Byrd wiring.That's a turn up for the books! No sign of your guitar in the register - the newest one in there is the '72 I mentioned earlier. Are you sure the wiring was factory installed or could it be a retrofit? As it's an '81, presumably it's a 24 fret or did they have a left over 21 fret body for it too? If it's all original and 24 fret then that could be a unique config!

And yes, it came from the factory Byrd-wired. I've seen the original invoice.
