Thanks! It really is a great sounding Hummingbird. It has a deep, rich voice.

Another wow here. Beautiful tone. And very sensitive and heartfelt playing too. Takes me back to the early Cat Stevens records, those were Gibsons. In fact I think Alun Davies was playing a Hummingbird, see here from 1971: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C7sJFXO2d0

Thanks. I think he's playing an Epiphone Frontier, which is basically the same guitar as a Hummingbird. Built in Kalamazoo. Great old guitars!
