Are you talking about the black Eric Church model 'Bird? Music Villa in Bozeman had one last week, might still be there.

I don't know where to get one right now, but right after they came out, I found one locally here north of Dallas.

Bought it immediately after playing it. Outstanding instrument.

No connection to the shop other than buying two guitars from them with great satisfaction!

FINALLY....I have one on order!

after talking to LOTS of folks and getting conflicting stories, I found out that Gibson is NOT manufacturing Ebony Hummingbirds this year but the folks at my Local Guitar Shop, Fuller guitars in Houston, Texas made it happen.

Apparently Mr Fuller called who ever is in charge at the Montana shop and worked it out. They are apparently in the midst of all the custom shop Hummingbirds and are taking one off the line to do in all Ebony for me.

The service was amazing and so was the price. It will take roughly 6 weeks to receive.

This is my 40th birthday present from my wife, and she says I cannot touch it except to check it over when it comes in until my birthday in October so the wait will not be an issue for me.
