Mark Blackburn Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Thank you, Mike -- what a wonderful (informative, beautifully-written) article! Just showed my wife Ren's 'current' photograph and said, "he's my age! And he made my Gibson Girl!" I have a question or two for Mr. Ferguson about my beloved "Northern Jumbo" and hope the moderators here tell him 'Mark B of the Frozen North' said "Hi!" Thanks again, Mike.

magnucifer Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Lovely reading, but I was always under the impression that the Hummingbird came before the Dove. In the article it says; "A maple-bodied dreadnought called the Dove arrived in the early 1960s, followed by the Hummingbird, and an Everly Brothers signature model with the rounded contours of a J-185." Have I been wrong? Is it the other way around? -Magnus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yeah, I think the Hummingbird came out in 1960 and the Dove in 1962. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
