Jesse_Dylan Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I bet there are a lot of Hummingbird owners on here. I bet a lot of you have posted photos of your Hummingbirds, but let's see them again, all in one place, and if you've never taken photos or posted photos... now is the time. :) I am interested in comparing the various subtle differences in top finish, but mostly, I just want to see them. It helps me continue obsessing while I wait to get my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherofpearl Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 While your on the topic of hummingbirds. I gotta say this 50th of mine is by far the easiest guitar I've ever played. Right from the factory. Never ever needed adjustment. Just a great neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right from the factory. Never ever needed adjustment. Just a great neck Gorgeous. I think that might be my favorite finish, of all-time on any guitar. It is sort of between the VERY red they used on the Quilts, but much redder than what they usually use on the Modern Classic. The Modern Classic I played (pictured) and the Quilt I played (also pictured) were both extremely easy to play, like you couldn't really ask for more. Yet at the same time, I play pretty hard with a heavy pick, and I also fingerpick pretty hard/heavy, and there was no buzzing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cibby53 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 This is not a real good photo for some reason I have a hard time uploading pictures.At least when you tap on picture you get the full size..I love my Hummingbird just is so playable and has a vintage sound I enjoy playing more than ever.

Jesse_Dylan Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Epiphones count! That's a pretty one. I see you have an LG-2 as well. How do you like it? There is one locally I'm going to play soon. I used to have a WM-00 I miss and wonder how they compare. Cibby, that worked just fine, and that's a gorgeous Hummingbird you have there!

Dave F Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 This is probably the mellowest sounding guitar I own. Almost a natural in the right light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse_Dylan Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 I NEVER show my Hummingbird on the first date! Oh.... Okay..... Maple and koa! How do you like the maple? How does it compare to koa and mahogany for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Maple and koa! How do you like the maple? How does it compare to koa and mahogany for you? The Maple is a Dove, so its much like every other Dove. LOVE the Koa 'Bird, (but I prefer the Dove actually), but the 'Bird is VERY bright! ... I've told this story here before..... back in the mid-60's I Worked in a music store. We got in a Hummingbird that I fell in love with, (at the time I was playing a Fender Jaguar and J-Bass, so no room for an acoustic). Fast forward to the 80's. My bride bought me a Christmas present.... she KNEW I was smitten by a Gibson 'bird' guitar of some kind, so she bought me a Dove.... and over the years, I grew VERY fond of it. I still have that Dove, (I just posted a video on the Acoustic Performances thread with it). It's special because she bought it for me at a time when we didn't have a pot to pee in, or a window to throw it out of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
