Will posted The Nudge because the Byrdland is shorter than the regular Gibson scale.

Byrdland is 23.5" - shorter than mustang/jaguar
Lennon's 325s were 20.75"
that thing Marty Robbins played was less than 20"

elvis costello at one point played a i think teal looking 3 pickup jaguar.
i can't find any pictures, but i saw it on a video.

uh, sterling morrison, beck, bob dylan, etc.

They're great. As a side note Hank Garland is the best player I associate with the Byrdland no offense to The Nudge.

pretty much everyone.

i don't think gibson scale should count. 24" and under pls. =]

Yes 24' or under...Regular Gibson scale is more of a medium..

Tom Verlaine rocked a lipstick Jag at one point I think.

Nels Cline occasionally pulls the jag out for the song Hummingbird.

Adrian Belew (Talking Heads / King Crimson) used to play Mustangs fairly regularly.

John Oates is playing a pre-64 red Duo Sonic in the Hall & Oates Private Eyes video.



And that video is spoofed pretty accurately (except with a post 64 Duo Sonic or Mustang - I can't see the bridge well enough to tell for certain) in commercials for the USA Network show "Psych".



Outside of that, pretty much everyone else famous I can think of offhand has already been mentioned, except for maybe Japanese guitarist / singer Char, who is, as they say, "big in Japan".

Never heard of them,,,,I really like this band.Thanks Kim

very welcome, this is one of my fav songs of them


btw if you like gories you might like coachwhips with john dwyer who i posted about earlier, my fav song of theirs is 'ufo please take her home' but it's not on youtube, and youtube vids don't do them much justice, and his other band ohsees but that's much more poppy.

or mummies or stomachmouths


my fav garage rock bands

Just remembered when I saw metric a few months back the guitarist in the opener Band of Skulls was using a gold jaguar.
