Dave F Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Nice! How do you like the aged top with the thin finish? The one on my SJ reminds of some vintage '50's guitars I've played, not '40's but that's okay with me. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of my latest guitars have had the aged tops, that is my preference. Although, my next guitar coming next month does not have the aged top nor the thin finish 😞 .... nonetheless, I can't wait for it - 000-28EC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violeiro Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Here is the one I had 2 years ago (2019 Vintage)...also great, and regret selling it. The problem to me is I get sore playing dreads for too long.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few Martin short scales and I like the 000 body style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucebubs Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I became a Gibson owner just last year, got me looking at other Gibson models now and that exact Hummingbird is the one I keep coming back to look at - fantastic guitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had other 000-28 Custom shop with red spruce, etc... but the EC is on a league of its own IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own a 000-28 and have played a 000-28EC and they are really two different guitars. If I didn't already have a 000, the EC would have went home with me that day. Edited March 26, 2021 by Sgt.

ALD323 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Violeiro...Beautiful guitar congradulations! I have one of these in this color (but it is the standard model) Occasionally I take it camping with me in summer if the weather and humidity are not to high on the given weekend. Hah! One time I pulled it out and sat on a folding chair by my camper, and before I even began to play it, a small audience of campers collected, just to see the thing! Ooooo!! Ahhhh! What a beautiful guitar they commented, play us a song!! Such an iconic guitar, professional or non-professional, everyone seems to recognize and love a Gibson Hummingbird! Best of luck with yours, and congrats! it is a beautiful color and a true acoustic guitar classic as I'm sure you already have found out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Helouuuu ^ always a fest to see new a Bird fly in. I still find them highly intriguing, , , to play and to look at. Your second - which inevitably makes me ask : Do you remember the first one clearly enough to compare ? Enjoy this beautiful and most likely incredible guitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
