10drum Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Got a lead on a Hummingbird Pro at a great price. Why did Gibson discontinue this model? Thanks for all replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I didn't know they discontinued them. I still see new ones for sale. They are Guitar Center-exclusive so I would think they're discontinued when GC quits ordering them. I bought one last spring because I thought it looked, sounded and played good. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Acoustic-Instruments/Square-Shoulder/Gibson-Acoustic/Hummingbird-Pro.aspx After a while I could tell the difference in the longer scale and narrow nut and it did not get played much. Toward the end of last year I decided to sale it but there were no takers and I had it priced very low and the guitar was in mint condition. I wound up trading it in.

10drum Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 They sell em at Musician's friend also. They aren't listed on the Gibson web sight under acoustics anymore. You can search and find the specs, but they don't list a MSRP. Guitar Center and Musician's friend have em listed for about $2K. The guy that has the one I may buy paid $1850 + tax for his. Used on ebay are anywhere between 14 and 18. He's wanting a new camera, so he willing to sell it pretty low. I'm gonna look at it tomorrow.
