Update: I ran this past Bobbe Seymour who recollected that Jerry Byrd sold this one to a fellow in Japan. Perhaps Isao Wada?
Note the JB engraved into the inside of the endplates as well as the stamped serial number.

Posted 8 Dec 2012 1:57 pm Just curious.................

Can YOU produce ANY documentation that JERRY BYRD ever had this unit in his possession?
Not questioning you.........
But, factually, it would be neat to know........and a very strong selling point as well.
Nice looking guitar. |

| Nope. As I answered before, all I have to go on is John Bechtel's recollection, a conversation with Bobbe Seymour and the serial number. I do realize that this model was also made available to a handful of Jerry's students, but since no one has yet volunteered any of the other serials, that's where the trail runs cold. I'm not a steel player nor a JB historian, I'm just a guy who happened to have a special instrument walk into his shop. |

Did this ever sell? I mean the "J.B." initials could be short for "John Bonham"!! And then, wow... Who knew?!?!

Apparently it sold twelve years ago when the original post was made.
