Hummingbird Pro or J45 Standard

John Hiatt once called the Hummingbird the ultimate rock & roll acoustic. Keef would probably agree with him. But I agree with an above post in that if you want a booming bass Gibson is not the way to go. If anything, the reputation of Gibson as a rock & roll strummer comes from their saturated mids.

Love Hummingbirds, the larger body gives a fuller tone, but isn't the Hummingbird Pro a bird of a different feather? Could someone please explain the difference?

Yes, , , and the feather is slightly longer, but narrower than the conventional Bird.

Eeehh, meaning it's a 25,50 scale and has a different body-shape. Besides the Pro features what the G-site calls a 'Gibson 1930's Advanced X-Braced Top'.

 

Had to look it up as I always forget these facts, , , 'cept for the box.
