This Bird Sings
I've waited almost 2 months to post this in order to get to know my new musical companion.
I wanted to add another acoustic to my stable, so decided to take a road trip to Sweetwater in order to try out numerous guitars in person. I went in with the assumption that I would end up with another Martin but also leaving my options open to others that may grab my attention, and the Hummingbird Faded certainly did that.
After playing a few Martins, Guilds, Larrivees then the Hummingbird and a Gibson Songwriter, I knew pretty quickly that day that I would be leaving with a Gibson. It was a tough choice between the Hummingbird Faded and a Songwriter, but after trying out several, the Hummingbird I took home just stood out above everything else I played that day.
The Hummingbird Faded is not really "faded", it just has a satin finish instead of full gloss. The one I got is light as a feather sitting at 3lbs 15oz after removing the LR Baggs (I never play plugged in with acoustic). It's very resonant with the notes just leaping out when played with a very sweet & beautiful tone that will just continue to improve the more it gets played. It's not as loud as my Martin D-35, but it buries my Gibson J-45 volume wise. It also has a very strong, solid bottom end that is not muddy at all.
Bottom line is that this Hummingbird is very quickly becoming my first choice to grab when playing acoustic. So glad I took it home with me. It's a keeper for life.
OUTSTANDING SOUND
but I took more to the the darker hummingbird.
