In my opinion, the early '90s Hummingbirds were nothing great tonally. Mind you, that's based on a very limited sampling, of course, but the examples I tried were generally 'meh'.
My sense was that they (Hummingbirds, and Gibson in general) turned a tonal corner after about 1996, and then REALLY started improving in the 2000s.
Try before you buy.
