NGD! Hummingbird IBG!

Love it, absolutely fantastic guitar!  It plays and sounds miles better than my old 1994 Epi Hummingbird.  I'm a STAUNCH gold hardware hater though so I'm thinking I'll swap out the tuning pegs and the strap button, maybe the entire pickup as well lol.

Major congrats, meanstreak!  Great looking Bird -- love the burst. 

Yeah, I've also found that higher-end guitars do indeed generally sound better than inexpensive ones.

Not the Hummingbird head-to-head as they didn't have a Gibson in stock, but I own a Gibson J-45 and they did have the new Epi IBG J-45 and I have to say it had me seriously considering selling the Gibson and buying that Epi.  I'd say the Epi was 95% as good a sound as the Gibson and played/felt identical.

These are made in Indonesia same as my 2012 Epiphone EJ-200 pictured below and yes, I bought it new. Hard case is an optional extra.

You can notice the new re-designed shorter headstock on the new guitar.

The new head stock is really nice and I love the tulip tuners too. The burst looks nice and even with very little run out. I wish I could find one locally to try out but they are no where to be found!
