Dave F Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Look at this Hummingbird. I'm just trying to get into older guitars and saw this and did a little research. The seller claims he bought it used in '69 and put it in the closet until now. The reference data I have - S/N falls between 70 to 75 "MADE IN USA" puts it in the 70's Block markers instead of parallelograms puts it between 73 to 83. He does not show the label which is another dater when they quit using the oval round orange ones. Take all into account and it's a 73 to 75 Value wise highest to lowest the ealy 60's, mid-late 60's then the 70's and 80's It does look to be in nice shape but I don't think they're too collectible, but the current price looks reasonible I contacted the seller about these issues plus some more info, but did not get a response http://www.ebay.com/...984.m1426.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Its a 70's dreaded Norlin era HB, and way overpriced. Should be no more than $1200. Stay away from it unless you like your guitar to sound full of socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
