Gibson Hummingbird Studio Rosewood

[fps]

Can’t find much info on these, only the walnut ones. I played one fairly recently and found the tone charming, soft, sweet, it was a dream to play as well, low action. Anyone tried one, or have any comments on it compared with the full fat Hummingbird?

I tried the walnut version and though it perhaps felt smooth and comfy, it appeared to be what it looked like :  a flat version of the common square CW or Bird.

Maybe I should have offered it more time, but it just didn't invite. Remember thinking "maybe it does tricks in the studio" while leaving the shop.                                                                                                                 Never really thought of the guitar again - - - - - this thread makes me wanna give it another shot.

Of all the Gibson rosewoods I’ve had, the only one that stuck around was  the Hummingbird Rose. It’s warm, and deep, thanks to the combination of the dread-shaped body and the rosewood. And the short scale. And maybe keeping old strings on it, too. But with the reduced body depth, the Studio is going to be... less of the above.

If Gibson wants to conserve wood and build a comfortable guitar, maybe keep (or even slightly increase) body depth, and make a mini Hummingbird version, like they do/did  with the SJ 200-M. Now that  would make for an interesting a/b with the HB Studio.
