EuroAussie Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Its really nice to see a Hummingbird played by expereinced hands that know how to sqeeze the best out of it. Sounds great here, but a blues box it aint even though it can more than hold its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalex Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The guitar sounds nice on the demo but seems odd to play slide on a Hummingbird. Maybe he's trying to show the guitars versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Another highly nice fried Bird there - though a lot of talk goes on while it sings I think it carries the slide fine. No sweat. And the guy is absolutely right about the single-note clarity, which is one of the distinct virtues of the Hummingbirds/square mahogany b/s Gibsons. But then he makes the classic mistake when it comes to these guitars and their history. In the review he first joins the choir that disparages and dismiss the adjustable saddle concept as inferior - for shortly after to praise the legendary Stones-tunes featuring Birds as the sonic measure-stick for the quintessential square Gibson sound. Oh lords, said it before and will say it again : Mister Pearlmutter ! Do you know all those tunes were recorded with adjustable ceramic saddles - and Angie probably even with plastic bridge ?

Salfromchatham Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Ha.... Amen Em7. I still think the best sounding Bird demo is the one done in Oz... Music Centre... Actually a Gibson Sheryl Crow Country Western. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 And before you can buy the new Hummingbird Vintage, you need to show the shop that you can play Angie top to bottom! No Angie, no buy. BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse_Dylan Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Is that rag still going? Nice review, and I saw a lot of interesting cover stories advertised. Maybe I should have kept a subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
