jchadn Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 This may sound silly, but I've always wanted a 'bird, but I have always hated neck binding on a guitar. Is there are year or model Hummingbird (not studio or pro) that does not have the neck binding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Never seen one. But knowing Gibson, there’s one in a pawn shop in Athens Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegreatgumbino Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Not a silly question at all. It may be heresy, but I too desire a bird without the neck binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I would think that would be an easy custom order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 What is it about binding that doesn't work for you? I personally find the feel of a bound neck massively preferable to unbound. Seven of my ten have bound necks, with only my '35 Dobro M32, '67 J45 and very worn out old Cedar Takamine jumbo being unbound. I make allowances for those, but otherwise I just love a bound neck.

littlejohnny Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 What about just ordering a h'bird speced to your liking? https://wildwoodguitars.com/product-category/electrics/gibson-custom-shop/wildwood-spec-made-2-measure/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyboy Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 The studio is the closest one you can get.If you like a plain Jane Hummingbird, there's a Sheryl Crow one but with neck binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
