I was looking for a short scale dreadnaught with a maple body and Sweetwater came out with these exclusives. I would have preferred a different finish than the "Viper Blue", but the tone of the maple and the playability were paramount so here it is: You gotta admit that is striking! I kinda like it!

MissouriPicker Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Man, that is pretty cool! I prefer the more traditional look, but that’s “pretty cool.” I suspect it’s directed toward a younger buyer who can afford a “bird,” but even an old dog like me can look good on stage behind a “bluebird.”….lol….

Twang Gang Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 The body is quilted maple, but because of the finish you can't see the grain very well. It is growing on me and like I said the tone and the playability were the most important so I don't mind it. But it would have been really nice in a natural finish so you could see the quilted maple better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gottabetweed Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Here ‘s my 1994 Centennial Hummingbird. It has been my gigging guitar for a long time. Nothing makes a statement like a Hummingbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawlowski6132 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Does anyone one of the "1960 Fixed Bridge Hummingbirds" from the Custom Shop Historic series?
