  1. Hi All, I have the opportunity to buy a 2015 Hummingbird relatively cheap (EUR2000,-) for my location (Netherlands). Maybe expensive guitars are not the thing for me because as soon as I realized that I wanted to buy it started to worry whether it was maybe a fake. One things that makes me worry is the pickguard which seems to be relatively faded. All other hummingbirds I see have very clear white and yellow lines in the pickguard while this one has not. The second thing is that the Grover tuners have a dull finish. Maybe the guitar was kept under wrong condition that caused the finish of the tuners to oxidize relatively fast or maybe the tuners are fake and the quality of the finish was simply worse than the original causing it to become dull over time. Would love to get advice whether the pickguard and tuners condition should be considered unusual or not. Many thanks in advance. Regrards, Johannes Johannes
  2. Hi All, This guitar is clearly vintage, lots of cracks on front and back. It must be a counterfeit, right? The shape of the top of the headstock seems not correct, the heel of the neck does not look like anything Gibson ever made. I am just surprised that in the 60s-70s or whenever this guitar was produced, also headstock logo's were copied. Any thoughts? Best regards, Johannes
