I saw Ted Nugent yesterday and I wonder if I can get a Gibson Birdland from anybody? US$ 200.-- plus shipping is my generously offer!

Hosebei, I could read your posts all day. Your English is quite good, and off just enough to make it fun to read. Don't ever change.

funny......maybe your right....I asked Ted Nugent for a nice deal with one of his numerous Birdlands, but he said something about arrows and uzis and swissies and NBA..so I went home and kept my money...

AL'S RIGHT...a decent one will set you back at least 2000. You might be able to get an original case for 200.

last year they had one here in town and they started an official bidding. Starting price was SFr. 15'000.-- (approx US$ 12'500)...just in case!
I hoped nobody will mention, that I left away one or two Zeros in my offer...
If you do not try, you do not win!

That one on ebay is nice but for me a Byrdland has gotta be white.
