It's always a pleasure watching a master at work. Thanks.

Oh sorry.

Jerry's touch and tone is unmatched. He plays with feeling, smoothness and expression that makes the steel guitar a fabulous instrument an icon of the steel guitar.Non-pedal and 7 strings that's all you need. Jerry is missed by all who love the sound of the steel guitar at it's finest.

Now if the numbers only didn't hide Jerry's hands....

wonderful! Thank you Baz. I think the guitar looks like a D cutaway L5 with a Bigsby arm. beautiful music and funny gag as well. Jimmyinoz

Very nice backup by Billy Byrd. I would venture a quess that his guitar was custom built. Billy was the "Byrd" in the "Byrdland" guitar by Gibson.

Beautiful.
I'm curious about the guitarist's instrument. It is a deep body doublecutaway, looks to be an upscale Gibson, from the "cloud" position markers. The ES-150D that came out in 1969 was not so ornate and not offered in sunburst. So this is a custombuilt?

Another great history lesson!
Thank you, Basil, thank you again :)

The guitar is a Rickenbacker(post-war) JB Series-7 String short-scale console manufactured by Rickenbacker around 1971. The guitar is hollow body and maple on outside.

@035jdj That is of course correct, BUT I think the other comments were made regarding Billy Byrd's guitar, NOT the Jerry Byrd model that Jerry Byrd is playing..
