Feature:
A beautiful sounding acoustic with a built in pickup that isn't visible from the outside. Comes with and excellent hardshell case.

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.

Desirability:
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Feature:
the materiels are all natural and of the highest quality obtainable.

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!

Desirability:
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!

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.

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.

Support:
I have not had the pleasure for they did it right the first time.

Overall:
See above.

Feature:
The pick guard, which is supposed to be the visual marquis of this guitar, wore of almost instantly.

Quality:
Compared to other guitars of the same price range, I would go for a Martin or a Larivee.

Value:
Not worth it.

Desirability:
Keep it.

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.

Ease of Use:
Like I said, it can't compare to the older ones made in Kalamazoo.

Support:
When I asked about the pick guard wearing off so fast, they said that's the way it is.

Overall:
I am not satisfied.
