Quake Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 First, I'd like to thank all of you enablers for schoolin' me on how my life was sadly lacking without a Hummingbird. Secondly, how it would be even better with one in quilted maple and a cherry sunburst like an LP. Who knew how right you all were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 . Man 'o man, she's real pretty. Beautiful quilting and that all over burst is gorgeous. Congrats. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullmental Alpinist Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Who knew how right you all were? We did. Ask us anytime and we'll tell you how right we are on any topic you choose (especially if it is involving the outlay of a lot of cash on someone else's part). That certainly is a beautiful guitar--especially the quilted maple back. I hope you enjoy it. FMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfbird Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 This is true. We're great at spending other people's cash. As we wait for Jesse to finally pull the trigger on his long-awaited Bird, we can celebrate a stealth operator such as yourself. I love the burst you've chosen. It's a gorgeous piece of craftsmanship. I imagine she plays as sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 That is one bold 'Bird. And in maple, next to it, a D-18 would be downright sleep-inducing. Nice string break, short scale, and a life-affirming burst. Now, about that back: if there ever was a guitar-as-meditation object, one with a bursted quilt maple back would be one indeed. Love the large "X" that appears through the grain; 'never seen one like it. Enjoy- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Congrats! A friend for life! And she'll only get purdier as she ages. Seriously - I have seen Two sunsets in my life that looked like that back. After a bad thunderstorm In Durham NC - looked exactly like that. G'Luck!

duluthdan Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 That's a rather stunning guitar - love the red. How does it play/sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quake Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Dan, Surprisingly nice low end growl! I've not played a maple dred before but I really like it. I see why so many people say how it fits right in with vocals too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogeye Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 That's not an X you are seeing it's the Roman Numeral ten. This is exactly the color the original Hummingbirds were. Spectacular. Amazing finish and great looking Maple. She's a 10 all the way. Congrats on a wonderful guitar and hats off to Van for the wonderful burst.

E-minor7 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 That's not an X you are seeing it's the Roman Numeral ten. Okay, we can call it a 10'er, , , or maybe say it was here the great acoustic lord in the sky placed his vote. No matter what the guitar surely has X-factor.
