Open Box Gibson Hummingbird Standard Acoustic-Electric Guitar Level 2 Vintage Sunburst 197881293536

I absolutely love this guitar and it has the Gibson sound in spades. I've played a j45, own a D18 and the hummingbird is my favorite due to its unique sound. Its sound is full and warm but a sweetness with the Indian rose fretboard which is part of what creates its uniqueness from other Mohagany guitars. Also, for me, the playability is better than the J45 and D18. Worth the money to own this piece of musical history.

The Gibson Std. Hummingbird, vintage sunburst is a beautiful instrument in playability, looks and tone. The sound palette is balanced across the board, with warmth in the overall tone without sacrificing the highs. You won't be able to put this guitar down! Get it properly setup after purchase and you'll be in 'Guitar Heaven'! This model has come through many changes(good and bad) since it's inception over 60 years ago...but now, Gibson really got it right with this current model. You will not be disappointed.

I've played guitar since I was 12 (I'm middle aged now.) This is the best guitar I've ever played. Especially for someone who sings while playing. The low end thump is incredible and gives a rhythm to carry you through the song. The mids manage to support and elevate the vocals rather than competing with them. And the high end, particularly the harmonics, are shimmering and dreamlike. This is a guitar that yields to your voice and the lyrics of the song. Its a warm, syrupy, rhythmic, dark and mellow guitar. And it plays so well I can't put the thing down. I've never been in love with a guitar the way I am with this Hummingbird. Many people say it's all about the pick guard or its looks. It is a beautiful looking guitar, but it actually sounds a hundred times more beautiful.

The more you play her, the better she plays, sounds, feels! It's like she's a living entity! It's meant to be played!!! It's ALOT of money, I know, but don't be afraid to take her out of the case and jam! That's what she's made to do!

Purchased new from stock at local Guitar Center. This is one of the classic acoustic guitars of all time but there is more. I play it unamped a lot but I also have a Rivera Amplification Sedona Lite which is an electric/acoustic amp, arguably one of the best. The Hummingbird sounds fabulous thru the acoustic channel on this amps.

I'm a bit better than a novice but I like nice things. This guitar is not only beautiful so I want to play it more often, it also sounds amazing!! I hesitated a little on spending this much but I'm so happy I did, No regrets!
