NGD - Gibson Hummingbird Standard
For a long time I’ve been a ‘play whatever acoustic I can afford’ kinda guy, and there’s nothing wrong with that. In the past couple years, as I’ve moved up in my career and had a little more discretionary income, I’ve wanted to get into acoustics more as I’m primarily an electric guitar player. In the past I’ve had a D-16 Martin, a Taylor 114, some random Epiphones, etc.
I’ve always loved the Hummingbird, but until I got to try one, I didn’t know why aside from looks and some of my favorite artists play them. I had a Gibson L-00 studio that played nice, but once I got a J-35 for my wife, the L-00 Studio, while a dream to play, just sounded weak and quiet. I also discovered that I’m more of a 000 and Dreadnaught guy. I decided to sell my L-00 and scored a great deal on my Hummingbird Standard and just got it yesterday. I can see why they’re such an iconic strummer. Sounds so sweet and incredibly easy to play (and look at). Not sure how exactly to get a photo posted but I’m trying! https://m.imgur.com/gallery/DgGJeNB

Congratulations on getting the 'Bird of your dreams. Really like the subtle burst on that one. Hope you enjoy it for years.
P.S. If you like a little deeper sound try some D'Addario Bluegrass 80/20s on it, mine sounds great with them.

Really nice burst, reminds me of the 1960s historic hummingbird!
