Just this weekend I visited a guitar shop with a Gibson Hummingbird and Songwriter Deluxe Custom hanging next to each other on the wall. I feel like it's always a crapshoot with Gibsons, so I tried them both out of curiosity. the Hummingbird was, unfortunately, a real dud. I picked up the Songwriter with a bad taste in my mouth from the Hummingbird and was totally blown away. That guitar was a sweet sounding beast. Smooth, clear but not overly bright, and loud. It's a good thing I did not have the cash on me or I would have walked out with it. Great guitar.
