[Choosing a Hummingbird]

Thanks guys! this was really helpful - I was kinda feeling the same way but needed some reassurance...

On the same subject, any reason to suspect it not being authentic?

He is including the original hard case, trust rod cover and saddle.

The serial number makes sense.

[Choosing a Hummingbird]

Hey!

Just gathered about 2k and decided to spend them on a guitar, trying to pick between a new hummingbird studio or a used 2014 hummingbird,

normally I would go for the used one, but  this one is without the original pickguard - hence the lower price - If I were to get it I would just take off the white one they installed.

I understand it's close to impossible to get an original pickguard from Gibson.

Any thoughts?
