WTB Anybody? (WTB Songbird)

[grmps]

I just NEED a black songbird!!! That's all, just a black songbird. I'd prefer the knobs on the shoulder, but I'll settle for the waist.
I check reverb multiple times a day, but no songbirds come. I ask Jobu for songbirds, I offer cigar and rum but he does not provide.
Anybody here have a black songbird they're mulling over putting up on reverb? Let me urge you to do it. Just do it!

All Songbirds have become a bit rarer lately. Good luck on your quest!

I kinda like the one out of Cali, but it's the wrong color

What exactly is the difference between a real "Songbird" and the F4CE? It was explained to me at least once. I bet the poster might be helped with that info.

Songbird is a different body outline, based on Gruhn Nightbird/Bluesbird. F4ce is a bit larger, 16" lower bout F-body, with traditional construction of separate back/sides/top.

Just realized you may have meant "Songbird vs S4ce": Songbird had HG finish/gold hardware by definition (can't recall if binding differed as well); S4ce's were HR/chrome hardware until HG became available during its run. Also Songbirds offered colors, think S4ce's were NT only, but not sure.

Yes, wasn't sure, so covered both bases. Model #'s so similar realized it might be a typo.

Just if somebody is interested, that black one at CME should be a 1988 one. Looks really nice in black!

Man I saw one of the Gibbs from the Bee Geez playing a sweet Pelham blue songbird on TV last night… doubt that one’s on the market

The only other time I've seen that color blue was on leisure suits in the 70s
