Gibson Hummingbird

I own a Gibson Hummingbird ,a 1995 year and it has gold tuners on it. Plays and sounds better then any of the others guitars I own. It is in top(new) shape,and still smells brand new. It is in +A condition a light color ( not Cherry Sunburst) and would never sell it for I don't beleive I could replace it. I had a pick-up put inside so you can't see it and the plug in is where the strap goes, so no extra holes.Bought it used, was only a year old,had it checked out. Did it come new with Gold Tuners or did someone replace them. Has no dings, no blems. Great Guitar.

wowza

I think this guitar is brilliant. Studio use its amazing, i dont really plug it in so i cant really say how that sounds, but wow.....the tone is sooooo even

One of the best!!!

I had a new Hummingbird in 1963. I sold it to take a trip to Las Vegas in 1964. I really couldn't afford to replace it at the time. I just bought a new one, all I can say is, "wow", I won't be selling this one. It is a keeper and will stay in the family. I will say that there are better electronic available but if you just want to hear a great sounding guitar with no frills, this is it!

Awsome

Best guitar I have ever played. I have martin , laravee, etc and nothing comes close to the sound and beauty of the Hummingbird. And with the pickup its a must for any type of music. Ive playted with some of the best players in the biz from bluegrass, gospel to country and they all say nothing but a Gibson

Gibson Hummingbird in live performance

i have been playing out with this quitar for about a year and it has held up exceptionally well. inevitably the quitar will get dings and scratches and many will not want to subject such a beautifull guitar to such abuse especially since the price of this guitar has risen so drastically in the past two years. The pickup systen is a simple one with no eq built in. It has a volume control placed on the inside edge of the soundhole which prevents the use of a feedback buster which will present a problem for live performance if the stage volume is high.

tips for owners of the Gibson Hummingbird Modern Classic Guitar

It's important to keep new strings on this guitar to bring out the sweetness of the tone which is quite delicate.

an honest assessment of this guitar by a professional musician

gibson has placed a volume control in the soundhole which makes it impossible to place a feedback buster there which is a big drawback for live performance. the sounnd of the guitar is quiet and a bit on the dead side. the main selling point of this guitar is appearance and reliability. it does not have a brilliant ringing tone.
