Powerful, Beautiful, Resonant Guitar
Hi Folks, It just doesn't get much better than this. How or why Gibson allowed this, still puzzles me to this day. I've played/owned a Gibson J-45 Regal, Gibson J-45, Gibson J200 Parlor and many other guitars. This IBG Hummingbird (that's what it is, not of the Masterbuilt, but of the Inspired by Gibson line) is one that I'll never, ever sell. I'll eat this guitar, literally, instead… read more of selling it to eat. I think that's my full testimony of it. The clarity and bottom end will just knock your socks off. They could have listed this in the $3,000 range and I'd have coughed it up. I can't believe Gibson has allowed this.
Very happy worth the wait
I ordered my epiphone IGB hummingbird back in November and got it in April but I have to say it was really worth the wait and the price. Sounded great out of the box.What can I say I love this guitar! I also want to thank the guys at sweet water they were great even when I would call to check to see if the guitar had arrived yet. This one will be hard to keep in stock. Thanks again… read more Jeff
THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF ALL GUITARS
I was reading a 2-page article in the current issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine comparing the Epiphone Hummingbird(inspired by Gibson) to the Gibson Hummingbird. The magazine said their survey of pricing for the Gibson Hummingbird was from $3000 to $9000.In the magazine, they said, "What's different about the Epiphone Hummingbird? NOT A LOT"!I have previously ordered 3 Epiphones… read more from Sweetwater and like the quality and excellent service from Sweetwater! I placed an order for the Epiphone Hummingbird and Ben Elder expedited the order and I had it in one day! Thanks, Ben! It was in tune out of the box with a perfect set-up! The 1st thing I did was put my favorite strings on the guitar: Elixir Acoustic coated Medium 13-56 Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze string for volume, tone & playability and use a 127 mm pick. This is the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen and has the great dreadnaught bass sound with great midrange, treble & sustain! It also has the "fancy" Gibson tuners and the fancy pickguard! The real "magic" happens when you plug this guitar into an acoustic guitar amplifier! WOW! Crystal clear! SO EASY TO PLAY! This makes the 5th guitar I have purchased from Sweetwater & I say thank you Sweetwater for making me a very HAPPY CAMPER! (Also enjoyed the bag of candy in the box). THANK YOU, SWEETWATER! YOU ARE THE BEST!
Excellent
Excellent..very happy. Was setup ready to go, even had a battery installed. Nice job Sweetwater!

I always wanted a Gibson Hummingbird but could never afford it. I wanted one as a memory for a very good friend of mine. When Epiphone upgraded some of their acoustic guitars(the Hummingbird was one of them) I had to make the purchase. I live in the Chicago area and I have many music stores to purchase from, but not one of them could match the service and professionalism of Sweetwater.… read more The guitar arrived very well packed. Everything was to manufacturer specs as I expected. I do like a lower string action so I will visit my luthier after I play the guitar for a couple of months. One last thing, my sales rep for this are is one of the best I have dealt with. All I need to do now is someday visit Sweetwater in Indiana.
