United State of Indiana-Byrd House-Custom G&L-The Natural!

Post by JByrd »

What do you think fellas? The logo you see on this guitar is from a local clothing company called United State of Indiana. I loved the logo so much that I started putting it on my project guitars, an using them at gigs with my band "Byrd House Sound". I call this model, "The Natural" after one of my favorite movies.

You may recognize many G&L Features. I say its time for a Sickle-Bump Headstock Revival!!

Very cool man! I am born and raised in Indiana. My last home was basicly at the 4th turn of the track. I have always wanted to build a Indiana guitar. I currently live in New Mexico. been out here about 8 years. I am picking up NBA league pass this December so I can watch the Pacers on tv. I am tired of watching them on the internet.

Great to see a Hoosier G&L fan around here. I am new to the board and forums in general. But this is great news.

I always wanted to build a guitar with the body shaped like the state of Indiana. With a Gibson Explorer head stock. I love your design though. Real good job man.

You dont know or remember Rodger Alden by chance do you? Him and Don Lynn turned so many guys on to G&L in the early 90's.
