I have the fever for a Byrdland.
What's your favorite flavor? Florentine or Venetian? I used to prefer the Venetian cutaway, but recently, I've been leaning toward the Florentine. I haven't heard a Florentine recently, but the last time I heard them played back to back, I preferred the Florentine slightly. Maybe it's the short-magnet Pat # pups, and I've also read that the neck block is bigger on the Florentine (but have no idea whether its true).
Finally, here's a great video of Phil X on a '59. Fretted Americana took this off youtube after the guitar sold, but happily, someone posted the video on the japanese equivalent.
