I recently bought a 1960 fixed bridge hummingbird and love it. However, I’ve never had a hummingbird and I’ve been trying to figure out what sounds great. I am using D’Addario XS light gauge 80/20 strings. The way it sounds when I finger pic and play leads is great. However . I have found out what they mean about it having its own space but not being very good to accompany other Guitars. today I went out on a sidewalk in my town and played some songs. Couple times I would put the capo on the fourth fret cause I’ve always liked that on other guitars. But what I found out was that this hummingbird is not for that kind of thing. It sounded too high-pitched and too thin. I found myself trying to play as tenderly as I could. but maybe that is the limits of this guitar. I’m fine with that and can use this for songwriting and use my Martin out on the sidewalk. I just thought this was an interesting thing to find out.
