mikelewis Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I'm not a big fan of autographs to begin with, and I admit there are some legends listed here, but this makes me ill: Autographed Hummingbird And I think the "63 Hummingbird" designation may be inaccurate. But still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPDEN Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Not the there is anything wrong with a fundraiser guitar signed all over by various celebrities, but I agree with you Mike that it would be better served on late model guitar, not a vintage one. Albeit it is up for debate what year that one may be exactly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Yeah, it's 70s for sure. Epoxy at the neck joint? Wow. So it's $200 for the guitar and $2600 for the autographs...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchabalk Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 yeah - it's a norlin, the top'll probably fall off in the next couple of years... i've got one and in the last few months all of the body binding shrunk, i think it'll start falling off soon. great sounding and playing guitar, failure scenarios are pretty robust though, kinda like a pinto :D/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballcorner Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Wow, it's a broken guitar signed by a bus load of has beens - Dwight Yoakam being the only exception. His inclusion is just plain sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWilson Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 They should have had them sign a large photo of the guitar, framed it, and gave it to the winner of the auction on the guitar. But, leave the poor Hummingbird alone! Damn silly if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Well, if someone already junkqued it up. This is the only way they'll get 4 figures for it. Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Pitty for the guitar... I don't like that at all. Imagine a (grand) piano "autographed" like that!?!?!? Okay, let's: Supposin' if one leg were replaced with 4x4 womanized deck post and the far end propped up by 6 cinder blocks, , fifteen hammers were broken, intonation shot to (#@$(*, and it had a screen door for a lid... and if it were signed by .... signed by.... signed by..... okay some virtuoso piany players, it would be much improved, no?

modoc_333 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 i bet Elton John, Billy Joel, and Little Richard would qualify. not "virtuosos" in the classical sense..... but neither are most of the guitar players that most people love either.

TommyK Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I was thinking more along the lines of Jerry Lee Lewis, Floyd Cramer and Victor Borge... although I think two of them are deceased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
