    Your demo at around the 4 min mark was absolutely beautiful - dynamic, rhythmic, expressive - just so good! Thanks for making this. I’m deciding between the studio and considering whether I’ll be able to get over the fact it isn’t a “real” hummingbird. Superficial I know, but I know what I’m like 😂

    I love getting there email in the morning inviting me to listen to another review by the laid-back duo of Quinton and Paull! Really dig your approach to these reviews and who cannot enjoy listening to Quinton play! I pour my coffee and sit on the edge of the bed and stare away at my laptop...Awesome.....Now for the guitar...really liked it ..would like to see a side by side with a true Hummingbird. Just a thought maybe an occasional description of what strings they come with....thanks ....Keep the reviews coming....I love my 5-10 minutes of bliss in the morning thinking of nothing just listening....stay safe everybody!

    Wonderful playing Quinton! We need to get these high end American guitar makers to end the high glossy necks! My Martin Custom shop(00014 Addy top, Hog b/s, 5k$$$) needed to be sanded down before I could own it, and I love it! Even some guitars from Boutique brands like Bourgeois/Collings that had the terribly sticky necks. Currently, it falls on the local shop to make sure the luthier can sand it down.

    If one likes rosewood back and sides, it is a fine instrument. It sounds very similar to Gibson’s Songwriter series.

      So... is a deluxe hummingbird a hummingbird? Because this has IDENTICAL specs with the deluxe minus the abalone binding and an abalone logo. I mean, the deluxe costs 6 grand and the original is 4 grand. Your comment kinda comes across as a little snobby, so I'm assuming you don't consider this a "real" hummingbird because it doesn't have abalone binding. I'll GLADLY pick the rosewood back and sides of this studio over the mahagony back and sides on an original. And the studio still has binding, it's just not shiny abalone....who cares lol. The studio comes in at almost 1500 dollars less than the original, it looks darn near identical, AND it has the better tone woods found on the deluxe model. IMO, you'd be a fool to pick the original over the studio, unless you just REALLY have a hard on for mahagony, which I can't understand because rosewood is about as close to mahagony as you can get sonically with actually BETTER bass, mids, and highs. 🤷

    I just purchased one of these in Left handed version. It has all the documentation etc it is legit. However on the headstock it is missing the gold crown shape thing. And due to this being a misprint i can gather just this alone they had to cut the cost. So i save £500 + just for it not having this transfer etc on it. Which i if the sticker/transfer etc is worth so much im glad it saved me some bucks. It is genuine but have you heard of this before?

      Not likely man. All of these things are made by hand in Bozeman. I highly doubt something like that would slip through the cracks of quality control. I’m sure there is another explanation but if not sounds like you got a fake.

    This is not hummingbird, just Gibson square shoulder guitar. I hate Gibson's naming. If The manufacture named so many various, the reason is only make money for invest debt. Why Gibson guitar is overpriced, the reason is they have a lot of debt for investing ONKYO, TEAC electronics. Onkyo was recently bankrupt.
