What Hummingbird is this?

My first Hummingbird -- an '85 -- was a natural-topped guitar, with slightly shaded back and sides.

 

I think the natural Hummingbirds were relatively more common in the later '60s (when you also saw more cherryburst Doves, as the flip side) than now. (That [a natural H'Bird] is what Keef played for a spell in the 70s.)

 

Overall, natural, "standard-issue" Hummingbirds are quite uncommon in current production, with the exception of the ultra-blinged Hummingbird koas, etc. But you can always order one through your dealer. Essentially all you're getting is a Sheryl Crow model guitar with a different pickguard.
