Back to Product Information
Sound: The Hummingbird is a great sounding guitar like they say, it has a very balanced and well blended sound across the sound spectrem of the dreadnought style guitars!!! I am so pleased with mine,and it's very pretty to look at!!! I own a D-45 Martin and it has more substain and volume and more flashto it, but it's rosewood, and the Hummingbird is Mahogany, so you know it will be different in sound. I also own a Martin HD-28 and it's a fantastic guitar too, but the Hummingbird is my favorite for playing while singing because it has the looks and a great sound with good substain and it blends really well for singing it louder than a Taylor but softer and a little less volume than a martin in other words it's a true win,win guitar for me!!! Feature: Came with a deluxe hard shell case (not the less desireable molded plastic) but the classic kind, padded with a plush blue interior (real sharp)and Gibson embosement on the outside lid top. Manufacturer Support: So for there has been no reason to use support!!!

"The only family that stayed with me when I was broken,down and out,my beautiful Hummingbird,It kept me alive to see new days." submitted December 28, 2006

Musical Background: lonely singer since forever,early 60's begining with a pawn shop capital that I won in a pool game.
Music Style: Billy Boye,Georgia
Back to Product Information
Sound: If you play in a reflective area or record and play back at your ears,my hummingbird sounds like a baby grand in an empty audatorium with just my bare fingers.A set of finger picks hurts my ears on this guiter.The sound is sharp and accurate as it engulfs your being.There is nothing else in the world when it speaks true. Feature: the materiels are all natural and of the highest quality obtainable. Ease of Use: For me,and I am of medium stature,it took some time finding a seat on this saddle,and it is a mount that needs my attention every day,or it will leave me.Without commitment,it doesent' work,butif I am true to her and play no other,the music is the best of my capability. Quality: Flawless! on the road? how are you on the road? Value: The extra that one pays for a premium American product is soon forgotten with the pleasures and pride given back with each use.However the money wasted on an inferior foreign nockoff is an open wound that will always be remembered! Manufacturer Support: I have not had the pleasure for they did it right the first time. The Wow Factor: It is a perfect balance of design and craftmanship,with only the artist missing.Sex has nothing to do with it,here we have a {Best Friend}This is something given away or passed down,not resold! Overall: See above.

Musical Background: all the above
Music Style: mostly gospel, bluegrass, classic rock
Back to Product Information
Sound: The sound is unparalleled, but it's not as loud as a Martin. Feature: It's a guitar. It's got six strings, a neck, and a hole. Every guitar I've ever played has these, so I can't really say a Hummingbird is any better than any other. Ease of Use: It is indeed easy to play. Quality: The reason I wound up on this site is because I'm hunting a good repairman. The bridge is slowly, but surely coming loose. I don't really blame Gibson, though. I bought this guitar in a pawn shop and it was easy to see it had been abused, but that was 30 years ago. It sounded until about a year ago when I noticed I was having to continually tune it, then I began to notice the bridge coming up. Value: Hard to say if it's really worth two or three thousand. I have a four hundred dollar Tex-Mex Strat that I'll keep ahead of my Hummingbird, my two Martins, and my Les Paul. Manufacturer Support: As of yet I have not found the support I'd hoped I would. The Wow Factor: Definitely a beautiful guitar. Overall: I give only a nine overall because of it's volume. My Martins don't have that melt-in-your-mouth sound, but they have plenty of volume.

Sound: Great sweet sound, this guitar is not designed to be loud and boomy great to go along with any style of music. The hummingbird sounds great either alone or plugged in i can't get enough. Feature: A beautiful sounding acoustic with a built in pickup that isn't visible from the outside. Comes with and excellent hardshell case. Ease of Use: This guitar is great for strumming along to any song and has the ability to play any style of music, however it is not taylored to any specific style and will not overpower the human voice. Action is good i exprimented with lowering the action but ended up setting it back to factory standards. Quality: I will own this guitar forever because i know it will outlast me beautifully put together all the pices fit together so smoothe and the entire instrument appears seemless. Go Gibson! Value: this guitar is beautiful sounds good and is somewhat of a legend however it is pricey. Manufacturer Support: I have not had any issues with this guitar so i cannot adequately answer. I gave support a ten because i dont know and innoscent until proven guilty. The Wow Factor: I love it, i wanted it and i bought it. it really is a stunning instrument the pictures on the web don't do it justice. The finish on all Gibson's is wonderful i wouldn't want it any other way. Overall: Don't get me wrong i love this guitar however if you are into bluegrass (and that's it) it may not be what you are looking for this guitar has a wonderful sweet balanced tone like i sad that is capable for any style i say go for it you wont be dissapointed.

Back to Product Information
Sound: I own a 1967 Hummingbird and can honestly say that the new ones cannot compare. My vintage bird has tones that knock the socks off the new ones. Harmonically the vintage is superior. The new ones are hollow sounding, with less sustain and less bass response, making it sound too bright or tinny. The neck, however, is still very nice. Feature: The pick guard, which is supposed to be the visual marquis of this guitar, wore of almost instantly. Ease of Use: Like I said, it can't compare to the older ones made in Kalamazoo. Quality: Compared to other guitars of the same price range, I would go for a Martin or a Larivee. Value: Not worth it. Manufacturer Support: When I asked about the pick guard wearing off so fast, they said that's the way it is. The Wow Factor: Keep it. Overall: I am not satisfied.
