"Wonderful in every way"

Overall:

(see rating details)

I have had this guitar for 10 years. Great rich tone, Great fretboard. It may look used now, but it sure looked brand new when I purchased, so I don’t know what this “used look” comment is all about. I also have a very nice Martin DP8, but if not plugged in, sounds like a toy compared to the Hummingbird.
