Epiphone

A no-frills, economy version of the legendary dreadnought.

A true legend of acoustic instruments, the Gibson Hummingbird was first introduced in 1960 as Gibson's earliest square-shoulder dreadnought. The Epiphone Limited Edition Hummingbird Artist is a no-frills edition of a classic acoustic guitar that features a solid spruce top, mahogany backs and sides for a warm, natural acoustic tone. The 25.5" scale mahogany neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard that facilitates fast picking styles. Appointments include a sculpted tortoise shell pickguard and split parallel fingerboard inlays. The Epiphone Hummingbird Artist Guitar possesses all the power you expect from a dreadnought and has strong bass tones that are favored by country and bluegrass players.

Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.

Good Guitar. Worth the money.

Features:

Beautiful finish and tone.

Quality:
Value:

No this is not the real Gibson Hummingbird, but it is a solid remake of it. Guitar plays pretty and stays in tune very well. Overall, I found it to be worth the $300 bucks. It isn't a gig guitar but it's fun to play with friends or pick on. Might be a decent guitar for someone to start out on who doesn't want to break the bank. Easy on fingers, as well.

Overall:

Overall, decent guitar. Worth the money.

Features:

I bought this one after being very satisfied with the J-200 Jumbo Artist that Epi is also selling. Whereas I am very happy with my Jumbo Artists I am downright thrilled with the Hummingbird Artist. No fancy pickguard or bridge but certainly has all it takes to be a good guitar with an unexpected bonus- this guitar sounds WAY better than I expected.

Quality:

I bought the cherry finish. It is beautiful. Very good quality. Again, you're getting more than you're paying for.

Value:

This guitar is worth more than it's selling price, IMO.

Overall:

Far exceeds my expectations. Looks really good and really well-built. And it sounds GREAT. I am just amazed at how well it sounds. I can't tell you whether mine is 'special' in any way but I can tell you that it sounds like a very expensive guitar. I own over 50 guitars so I have a few to compare it with.

Best acoustic guitar ever!

| Review By: Alex Luangrath | 2 months, 19 hours ago

3 people out of 3 found this review helpful

Features:

This is a square shoulder dreadnought which features a mahogany back and sides and a split parrallelogram mother of pearl fretboard and inlays. Everything you would expect from a hummingbird. The downside is that it doesn't come with the iconic decorative pickguard with a hummingbird design you would see on the regular epiphone hummingbird or gibson. But you could always purchase the pickguard off ebay like I did. It looks fantastic! If you're buying this guitar because of the faded cherry then great choice. I personally don't like the cherry sunburst on the other epiphone because it's too bright and harsh on the eyes. I simply love the faded cherry way better.

Quality:

When the package arrived at my house and I opened the box. All I could smell was fresh wood. It was like they made it fresh and packaged it right away. I picked it up and played it right away. Of course it was out of tuned, but man! The strings were new and the action felt great. I couldn't find anything wrong with it! Absolutely love it.    

Value:

For the price, this guitar sounds and looks like a thousand dollar guitar. You can't go wrong with that. Plays and sounds great for the price you're paying. which a bargain.

Overall:

Overall, I absolutely love this guitar! I've always wanted a Gibson Hummingbird because of the color of it which the Epiphone doesn't have. which is vintage cherry. but the faded cherry comes close to it! I recommend you get this guitar now because it's only for a limited time. Get it before it's gone!

Ok, BUT

| Review By: Kevin Edge | 5 months, 1 week ago

4 people out of 6 found this review helpful

Features:

It's a pretty little guitar but very light.  I have about 10 accoustics and this guitar is noticably lighter than any of the others.  Has ok tone.

Quality:

Low E string is set up with too low "action" and buzzes against frets.  Sadly middle D is in tune "open" but goes out of tune as I move up neck so bar type chords are dissappointing.  Corner of pick guard lifted slightly.  Paint seems good.

This is the 2nd one recieved - the first was received with a crack in top.

An Epiphone J-45 from several years ago seems better in quality although I did have that one set up by a specialist as action was too high.

Value:

Will see if I can tolerate playing a guitar that is out of tune for bar chords.  Bought this as a replacement for a National I got for my birthday in 1969 which is no longer tuneable due to neck issue, as a travelling guitar.

Overall:

I'm hoping I did not make a mistake buying a second Epiphone.
