Here's the weird one - Ted traded this HRF for a Byrdland he had previously owned and which had mysteriously disappeared. Fortunately a fan had found and purchased it. Note that the TP6 is positioned  where a trapeze tailpiece might be located - presumably to allow Ted to do his Byrdland-style whammy effects and associated guttural noises.

So the Byrdland has a solid carved top (with a hollow body underneath), not just an arched plywood one? I live and learn.

Solid spruce top. Apparently variations abound on the back and neck construction. Short scale, thin neck also.

The could have always offered a Bison head trophy ready for wall mounting as case candy with the Nuge Sig model!

I could design a custom Byrdland/bow and arrow flight case for a sig model.

Case lining would have to be something, um, "organic", I guess...

You mean pinkish Wang Dang Sweet Poontang fur that gives you Cat Scratch Fever?





Wang Dang Sweet Poontang was the B side of the Cat Scratch Fever Single, how fitting.

Rob Grange was the epitome of cool, like a tall Ian Hunter playing bass.

No, more likely something that formerly girded Ted's dinner...

Didn't I say he had Motown in him ...
