Greg Ferguson Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I haven't had a chance to play a Sheryl Crow. Curious about how it compares structurally and tonally to a Hummingbird. Anyone had a chance to play both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesLawrence Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I found the Crow to be not as sweet in the highs but projecting a bigger sound. Try youtube videos of Sheryl Crow to get a better feeling for the sound. Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

degle28 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Greg, this is a bit of a highjack here, but anyway, is that a bottle of Woodford next to your guitar in your avatar? I love woodford! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love woodford![/quote'] Darrell, Good eye! That's exactly what it is. I'm originally from Kentucky so I think of my '87 as being either Tobacco Burst or Bourbon Burst :-) I thought I would get a pic of it with a bottle of Woodford. And yes, Woodford is a very nice bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 My turn to join the revive-old-threads-trend. I found the Crow to be not as sweet in the highs but projecting a bigger sound. Actually played those two side to side in a shop recently and had the exact same experience. The Crow was rawer where the Std. H-bird had more nectar. Only difference should be the thickness of the guards. Of course it could the nature of those particular 2 models, but the Bird was so much birdier. Strangely enough not too much talk about the Crows here. They're even flying under the Doves on the publicity-scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanCarlosVejar Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I asked about that question once . I was told the Sheryl was structurally the same as the hummingbird TV JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenverSteve Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 At the end of the day there will never be a consensus. It comes down to what you like better. I prefer the Sheryl Crow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Crow - in fact it was my brothers SC which around the millennium turned me on to Gibsons again. After a 20 years hiatus. A broken in Crow - Wow !

Yeah, it sounds good, but have to say it illustrates my post above. More raw and direct, , , not much nectar.

Hall Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 2008? OK, sure. I enjoy the Crow CW and the thin guard even in 2015. steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 EM7 - can you share a similar video of a Bird with nectar? I want to hear the nuance that you do. To be honest I'm not sure this will do. The german fellow plays a wonderful Crow and one can almost feel how much this pro guitar sales-guy admires it. So it may vary from pair to pair, ex to ex, and I'm still insecure about the theory in general. But doesn't this Bird seems a little smoother or nectarish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqZfywLkiVg Besides there's a clip with our own EA - then again he's half a step down, which usually makes the sugar drip a bit more. .

Here's I think a good ocmparisement, remember my 69er was a CW before i put a HB pickgutard on it and gave it Tulips. btw: how do you list vidoes so the frame appears, in that past you just pasted it here ? I think they are both in standard tuning. But I think this clip shows the Hummingbird 'nectar' really well, and in this case, yes, it is tuned down half a step. cheers, EA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 EA - Just remove the "s" after "http" and she will embed.
