TIMT Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Hello Forum Just inherited a virtually unplayed '67 Hummingbird Natural from a relative of my wife. Luckily the strings were slacked on it and it was stored in a controlled environment. To say it looks like a new guitar would be an understatement. I'm having fun exploring the sound and feel of this mahogany/spruce guitar with a narrow nut. It's a bit different from my Santa Cruz Tony Rice, but I like the mid-frequency emphasis and the blended sound. I'll stick with my Tony Rice for lead flatpicking, but this 'Bird is fun.
tx-ogre Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Welcome aboard. Congrats on scoring what sounds like a great guitar. Be prepared for requests for pics.
TIMT Posted August 17, 2019 Author Posted August 17, 2019 Here's that virtually untouched early '68 Hummingbird. Notice the screws attaching the pickguard, belly-up bridge, gold Klusons, and the oval orange label. Original case.
