Nothing says (screams) Michigan quite like The Nuge. Free for All is considered his best album (I give Cat Scratch Fever a slight edge), this classic has the title track of course, plus Dog Eat Dog, Turn It Up, and Hammerdown. If you read this blog - you will recall how engrossed I am with Ted's signature Gibson guitar. It was given the name Byrdland because is was originally custom built by Gibson for two famous Nashville session muscians - Billy Byrd and Hank Garland. You will see some Byrdlands with a rounded end or Venetian style lower cutaway. From most photos, Ted prefers the sharp or pointier Florentine lower cutaway. According to a Gibson message board, the guitar is currently available as part of Gibson's Custom series and is made with the Florentine cutaway.
