SC_Wannabe Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 After just missing two other Birds in the last month, this morning I pulled the trigger on this used 2016 model from Elderly: http://www.elderly.com/instruments/acoustic-guitars/flat-top-acoustic-guitars/gibson-hummingbird-2016.htm 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.

MorrisrownSal Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Hey congrats! This will complement your slope well. It also has the Baggs Element VTC, which is a big upgrade from the old element. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the other side Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 "Bird Incoming" : you should brace for impact and have shelter ready. Get all chores done and plenty of supplies in the fridge for the fallout. 2016 feathers are probably still a little damp. Give her time to open up. Congratulations !!!!!

Jesse_Dylan Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 That's a beautiful one, too! More "cherry" than some. I've played a few standard Birds, and they were fantastic. It is more than just looks on them. Don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalex Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 It seems like Bird Flu has become an epidemic on this forum of late, but with good reason. Look forward to a review of your new Bird when she arrives congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!

Mafy31 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Indeed like Jesse said, it seems to be a nice cherry burst on that one ! Usually HCS are more like honey. Dunno if it is the pics or its true color. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC_Wannabe Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
