I am looking at a 2005 Hummingbird Historic. Is this like the True Vintage? I really can not find any specs on the historics. Is there a pick up? Nut and saddle materials? Is it like a Modern Classic?

 

Confused:-k

Confused-- your not the only one. Gibson used the Historic tag to cover std issues (J45), higher end reiusses (AJ) and short runs (Orig. 30s jumbo).

Does this one come with a PU? That makes it more like the J45 and MC. If not, more like the AJ and J185, and more similar to the TV, though maybe not same (see, for the J45 they tinkered with the bracing--not sure about other models). Big picture, folks who own them generally like em--especially the 'special" ones like the OJ, which get rave reviews.
