  2. "owned" past tense? what happened? I've been lusting after the j200 Vintage cooked top model....was thinking of trading the bird for one ouch...please tell me it wasn't lost to a divorce?

  4. you can here how it sounds on my youtube page... there are plenty of demos and uploaded songs there: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH3URFDAUbknfjC--jTfGKg/videos?view_as=subscriber
  5. those are just pick scratches that you put the blue arrows on. yes it has opened up more. seems to be getting better each year.
  6. I own a 2016 Hummingbird Vintage. The one with the cooked top. during this year of production were these guitars made with ONE PIECE of solid spruce for the top? mine looks likes it's made of two pieces glued together. You can see in the pics that I've uploaded, it looks like there is a seem. it also looks like since they used a very thin Nitro Finnish, that it seems to be settling into the seam or cracking? should i be worried? guitar has always been kept at the right humidity and in the case !!

  8. Em That's a great question! I play both everyday...but the split is 60-70% Gibson and 40-30% Epi. If I'm going to play for more than just 5 minutes I play the Gibson....but if it's quickly in the the morning before work, or just walking by my wall and the mood to play a lick or two strikes me, I grab the Epi. The Epi gets a lot of action from my 1 year old son. I let him beat the hell out of it...he loves playing it, slapping it, drooling on it, plucking the strings! Today I taught him how to use the pick....I lay the guitar flat on the floor and he sits next to it and strums...he's gonna be a better player then me! But if I know I have more then 5 minutes or so to play, I always grab the Gibson...it's funny because I first I was used to the nut width of the Epi after playing it during my ACL surgery recovery...and when my second Gibson Hummingbird came back from Don Ruffato it took me a while to get used to the wider nut...now it has reversed and I'm used to the Gibson nut width and the Epi feels cramped... All in all I'm glad I bought both!
  9. I start us off. This is my 2016 Hummingbird Vintage with Elixer Nano Web Medium PB strings and Bob Colossi Bone pins and Strap button. You all have seen some sound demos so ill skip that for now...maybe I'll add a few more once this thread gets cooking. I picked her up around the end of March this year...so far Im in love. I recently had her setup and she plays like a dream...the only thing about the nice and low action is that i have to have a softer attack when picking individual strings....but that ok because this guitar is not know for its loudness/volume, and I play for fun (solo) and not out a gigs, so playability and tone are more important than loudness.....there may still be a Martin HD28v in my future? :) Anyway, most of you board regulars know the long saga of how I acquired this guitar and are all sick of the details....but for those of you who don't: http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/128565-2016-hummingbird-vintage/page__st__160__p__1752487__hl__hummingbird+vintage__fromsearch__1#entry1752487 I'm looking forward to hearing from you fellow Ornithologist!! (Especially the ones who have been silently lurking)
  10. I thought is might be fun to start an OFFICIAL HUMMINGBIRD OWNERS thread.....are you the proud owner of a vintage 1960s Hummingbird? How about a Modern Classic or True Vintage? Maybe you own a Torrified Vintage Hummingbird or something on the more rare side like a KOA or CUSTUM Bird? Anyways, if this type of thread already exists please have a MOD delete this one. Id love to see a similar thread for the j45 and j200! If you feel like sharing, this is the place for all things HUMMINGBIRD. Please posts a few pictures, share how long you have had your Bird, what you use it for, do you like it? LOVE it? Perhaps a sound or video sample? Also if you have made any changes/upgrades and what you are using for pins and strings. Sound like fun?
