The
'Super Avianti'® is now the only electric guitar Byrd uses completely
replacing the Stratocaster style guitars used previously. Designed
and built by Byrd the guitar takes the best parts from James' two
favourite guitars - the Fender Stratocaster and the Gibson Flying
V.
The Super Avianti® uses the tremolo,
single coil pickups, bolt on neck (upgraded to 5 bolt) and scale length
associated with the Strat, whilst the body shape is derived from the
tonal qualities of the V. The neck is scalloped and pickups used are
DiMarzio Virtual Vintage 54B in the bridge and mid, and a DiMarzio YJM
in the neck position.
The guitar has 7 different pickup configurations
making it one of the most versatile guitars on the market. These guitars
are completely a 100% Byrd creation, designed and built by James.
This is the electric guitar heard exclusively
on 'Anthem' and 'Flying Beyond The 9'.
The cream Super Avianti® is the original
prototype. The Gold model is Byrd's favourite and the Candy Apple Red
Super Avianti has a great crunchy tone superb for rhythm work
