Interesting! Paul Reed Smith had the first guitar with bird-inlays, built for Peter Frampton in 1976. Some of the birds were tricky to get right, so Paul invited a few friends over to help him draw some of the more difficult birds. “The ones that took the most revisions and thought were the 15th, 17th and 21st fret birds. Still to this day, people refer to the 24-fret bird as a ‘flying turtle,’ (which I can't see). It’s really an owl on a stick.” Starting from the nut down the birds are: - Peregrine falcon - Marsh Hawk - Ruby Throated Hummingbird - Common Tern - Coopers Hawk - Kite - Sparrow Landing - Storm Petrel - Hawk Landing - Screech Owl On A Branch (24-fret models only) Apparently Paul and his mum used to listen too the birds, whilst laying on the bed and try to Identify the songbirds. Cheers all. and you Anne!
