rdnzl Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Got this today. It's a 2014 Gibson Hummingbird True Vintage. 1 of 50, with Certificate.
rdnzl Posted July 28, 2016 Author Posted July 28, 2016 My phone doesn't photograph how nice the top really is. And I have just finished a bit of playing, after tuning her up. First impressions are very good. Very vibrant and articulate. Sweet tone. Sustain is pretty amazing. Action is nice, too.
duluthdan Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Nice looking guitar - new ? or barely used ? Have fun !
MissouriPicker Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Those pics are great. Really get the juices flowing. If I've got two AJs, why not two birds?....... Love to hear that guitar when you get the chance to do some recording.
rdnzl Posted July 28, 2016 Author Posted July 28, 2016 Barely used. I'd say mint. I thought getting a cherry burst would be sorta nice to go with this one I already own. It will be fun to compare the two.
Buc McMaster Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Very good looking guitar, sir! Of all Gibson's designs and variations, the Hummingbird does it for me. A perfect mating of playability, style and sound. Might we get to hear this one......or heck, any of these you've displayed lately. What's that, #4 over the last 2-3weeks now? On a buying binge?

E-minor7 Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Hi - congratulations, , , and welcome to the voliere. A TV Bird in one of those cases is such a mighty object to bring inside the small rooms of a home. It'll soon take all the space if you're not careful. Hope this 2014 fills your soul as well - then again why shouldn't it. Tell us more about the honeymoon, , , not least that certificate Stay glad, , , and glazed

Perfect setup, and to me, this is what a good guitar sounds like. I'm no expert or even a good musician, but I know what sounds good. To me anyway. Not sure if there's any real significance to the certificate. One of 50. Does that mean one of 50 in 2014, or one of 50 total TV's made?

Probably - a little bell now tells me that '14 might have been the year where Bozeman did re-structure their production a bit (not sure though). I had one of the 167 made in '08 and the certificate then was different. My 2012 doesn't have one at all. Well, , , some things change - luckily not the look of this beauty.
E-minor7 Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 ������ And 3 vague empty squares mean ? Wow ! , , , now they turned into ?-marks. . . !?
E-minor7 Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 ������ ������ - ������ I try again. ������ Is there acid in my beer Okay - in my Explorer browser I get 1 vague empty square - 2 clapping hands and a smile. In my G-Chrome it's only 3 vague empty squares, which beyond my control turn into question-marks in black diamonds when quoted. Kind of psychedelic in the heat of the tropical night over here, , , but those 2 browsers btw. are totally different to handle when writing stuff. Chrome much preferred.
Pesh Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Very nice; the colour is quite lovely. Congratulations on this limited score!
djw171 Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Very nice, congrats. Would be interesting to hear a comparison of the two you have. I'd say that was a run of 50 made in 2014. You have #3 based on your serial number. My J185 was limited to 75 pieces worldwide last year, I got #57. I think Montana keeps to the advertised numbers more than Nashville. I have the Slash Rosso Corsa Les Paul, initial advertising stated 1200 to be made. There is no indication or cert however to say such that came with the guitar. I asked Gibson, they couldn't specify or commit to actually how many were made.
jdd707 Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Got this today. It's a 2014 Gibson Hummingbird True Vintage. 1 of 50, with Certificate. Congrats! I love those tan "deluxe" cases. I've got two: one that I take out and another that has never been used.
rdnzl Posted July 29, 2016 Author Posted July 29, 2016 I'm totally in love with this thing. I should be outside on this 82 degree sunny day, but I've been inside playing.
