brannon67 4 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 My first Gibson I got was a Hummingbird Pro, which I totally love, and fell inlove with the feel and tone when I played it at my local Guitar Center a month ago. I know Hummingbird purist gawk and sneer at the Pro, but I have to say I love that guitar. Anyone else dig it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EuroAussie 192 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 Actually i think you will find a lot of respect for the HB pro, there are a lot of fans of this model. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brannon67 4 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 True, I have also played a true Hummingbird, and loved it also, but the price was a little to steep for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just a shame that Gibson Marketing didn't give it it's own name. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GavinGuitar 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 I got one about a month ago. I love it, sounds and feels great. I also don't understand why it has the "Hummingbird" name and not its own name as it seems pretty different. Kinda confusing, but I didn't choose it for the name so no big deal. Glad to hear you like yours! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brannon67 4 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 Well, when I tried it out at the store, played it for about 30 mins, I did not know that it had the Hummingbird name attatched to it. I did not know what model it was, until I asked. I just enjoyed playing it, and I loved the tone and feel, so in all honesty, I did not care what name was on it. I knew it was Gibson, and I loved it, so I got it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EuroAussie 192 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 What about 'Songwriter Delicious' ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brannon67 4 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 Never tried the Songwriter series. Heard great things about them. I want to try them out sometime, or I might not want to, Ha, may get into trouble again. Ha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EuroAussie 192 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 Well you realise the HB pro is based on the Songwriter shape, except being short scale ? Never tried the Songwriter series. Heard great things about them. I want to try them out sometime, or I might not want to, Ha, may get into trouble again. Ha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
