    Hummingbird Pro 2016 - does it have a thermally cured top??

    in Gibson Acoustic

    Posted

    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
