SundanceKid Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hi all, I currently have a Gibson Southern Jumbo Sheryl Crow 2012 and someone has offered me a decent amount of money for meaning with some saving I can afford a Gibson Hummingbird 1960 Fixed Bridge. Anyone have the chance to play the latest high end Hummingbird? Due to location, I'll be buying it sight unseen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I am in a similar situation. I have been thinking about a Hummingbird, but no one around where I live (even 2.5 hours away) has one in stock to try out. I may use Sweetwater and if for any reason I don't care for it, I can return it for refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) I would not hesitate to buy a new Gibson Acoustic sight unseen from a reputable dealer. You can't go wrong with an H'bird !

BoSoxBiker Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I'm with fortyearspickn on this topic. I've done a 180 in recent years and now dig the online shopping experience. I'm 3 for 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALD323 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Last month I bought a 2020 Hummigbird Standard from AMS (American Musical Supply)..they gave a great discount and delivered it within 24 hours and it's a real beauty. There is only one Hummingbird in the entire world...and Gibson has it! Mine is immaculate, perfect fit and finish, exquisite Heritage cherry burst that is smooth and perfect and run out free. A delight, and the cornerstone of my collection! This is it! It looks even better in person!..they also accept returns for refund like GC and many others.

jw3571 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I have the 1960's HB fixed bridge. It's a fantastic Hummingbird, the best modern one i've played and i've owned 3 or 4. I compared it to the one in the pic above and the 1960's fixed bridge blew it out of the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
