Bird Incoming

After just missing two other Birds in the last month, this morning I pulled the trigger on this used 2016 model from Elderly:

The price they were asking is exactly to the dollar how much I have in my "Bird fund" after selling two other guitars, so I took that as a sign from above to buy. If they ship it out tomorrow, I will have this Bird in hand on Wednesday. Here's hoping that it lives up to everything I've heard about the other 2016 models.

If it's as good as mine you will be in bird heaven! Mine is "back from the future", the headstock says 2017. Wonder what yours will say? Enjoy!!

I love a cherry burst Hummingbird (or J45), but I'm guessing it's more of the way the picture was taken than anything. If that's it's true color, I won't be disappointed.

 

Elderly called this morning and the guitar has been "released". Hopefully that means it will ship out today, but sometimes Elderly can take an extra day. Can't wait to get this one!
