Guitarsail Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Ive got my hands on a "50s" Hummingbird, Kalamazoo tag inside. Looks like 622867 on the headstock. Older Gentleman says he bought it in '54. Just trying to find out some history on it. Pick guard and finish are in beautiful shape but the neck has a pretty good twist in it.

j45nick Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Welcome. I can't access your photos, but there is no such thing as a 1954 Hummingbird. The Hummingbird was introduced in 1960. That serial number can be from one of several periods. It it is stamped on the back of the headstock, with no "made in USA" stamp below it, the guitar probably dates from the very late 1960s. If it has a "made in USA" stamp beneath the serial number, it would be between 1970 and 1975. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarsail Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Alright good to know! No made in the USA stamp, so late 60s it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
