E-minor7 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Not much more to add. The Hummingbird says it all. Enjoy 1963 ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDTTri080ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

62burst Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Nice guitar for sure. Original guard? That's for sure. Though it was tough really hearing the guitar apart from the pick, but that hold on loosely style showed how the guitar could hang with some of the high intensity playing, like t = 1:23. 'Was able to hear some real nice clarity/ sustain when finger picked, esp during the 6 seconds of d stuff @ t = 2:50- the aging of that guitar provides good evidence to not be thrown off by an ADJ saddle on the golden era birds.

JuanCarlosVejar Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Edit: Maybe I wasn't clear I don't think it's the guitar all ... I think the problem is the pick haha. If it were mine ... I hardly ever use a pick so I would have one hell of a 63 Hbird! JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Wow, that is stunning! Rings for days. It's amazing how Maple-like it sounds for a Mahogany guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Mister Hall - it is the real guard. JCV - If serious you should look up the relatively new 1962 Southern Jumbo. Don't know about the top-braces, but the back-ditto in that release are thin as the old ones were. (did you check the film in the cans or over decent speakers) All - T-would be something to hear this 63'er with faded steel. In fact on both half and totally burned out stages. There we would have it. Not as loud, more defined, shining it's precious dry yet splashy vintage true colours (as Lauper would say). Wonder if there ever comes a day where people dare to rely on the idea that their high-end guitars actually are very good without the 'support' of new strings. Anyway - if you like first-wave Birds, this is it. Adjustments can be done by the right/left hand and recording-details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Mister E-minor7- That is nice to know on the guard. It just looks so good for the age. Great guitar.+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Fantastic demo. I keep getting drawn to a sound I can’t recapture, and its heartbreaking for me. I have tried twice. With a new standard, and an older model. Pity. I think I may wait until my guys get something good in. I’ll bring in some cruddy guitars, free up space, and bite the bullet. I regretted selling the J50 when I did and got lucky. Not so much with the Vintage Bird. First world problem to be sure in the scheme of the world right now...

EuroAussie Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Hey EA - nice to see U fly by Those Birds are magnetic and Prague shouldn't miss this one. Ive been enjoying my TV again, quite a bit actually. Not many vids of real good specimen Birds from the 60's overall on the tube I found, your selection was probably the best of the lot.

BoSoxBiker Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 That was nice. Unmistakable, sweet Hummingbird tone. Accept no substitutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
