Hey there, thought I'd pop in and say hi 🙂 Here's me doing some stuff on my Hummingbird Pro, check out my channel on youtube, and I'm on TikTok as well 🙂 Hope you enjoy :)

Thanks! Yeah 62burst, I was wondering if you could tell because the baked top is noticeably darker with the HB, you can tell straight away.....but with the dark burst, its not so easy 🙂 But yeah for sure, for what I paid, its an awesome guitar - I'd love a Bird, but that is a lot more, and this is my first Gibson, and I'm just loving the tone already - I did a shootout with some of my other guitars, and whoa! Can't say I'm loving the neck, its a bit clunky for a fingerpicker, IMHO, but I'll get used to it.... You'll want to strangle me when I tell you this - it was a toss-up between the HBPro, and a Vintage Hummingbird with the torrefied top - yes I made that choice 🤣 But the latter would have been an import from Japan, and would have cost me twice what I paid....and those Vintage HB's don't even have pickups, it seems....I've recently seen another baked top HB here in Australia, but its nearly 3 times what I paid! Between that, and I need something I can actually bring outside the house and gig with, its fit for purpose.....I reckon my next purchase will have a baked top, I am v. intrigued.... Thanks again

Thanks for the replies....yeah I posted on the youtube vid, but its a few years old, unlikely to get a reply.....but yeah it would be too good to be true, there's no way 😂 See attached for some pics, in case you can tell by looking. Cheers

Hey there, I just picked up a second hand Gibson Hummingbird Pro 2016....I see that the 2016 has some differences over previous versions, like nut width.....but I saw on a video on youtube, he mentions that it has a thermally cured top, can that be right?? I know the 2016 Vintage Hummingbird does have this, so.....maybe? Thanks for any replies
