This is an excellent guitar!
I originally ordered a Martin HD28E, which is an awesome guitar, but the neck was just too wide (1.75") to be able to grab even a "C" chord without killing the first string. Sweetwater was great about my returning it by my just paying the return shipping. I was hesitant about this Gibson because I saw the review about sloppy finish work, but I inspected Sweetwater's pictures before… read more ordering it. The Hummingbird Studio Rosewood is EVERYTHING I hoped it would be! Not even ONE blemish in the fit or finish. The neck is a perfect fit for my hand. This guitar plays great, and the sound is excellent. I was concerned because this only comes with a LR Baggs Element pickup, but that concern was put to rest when I plugged it up to my Boss Acoustic Singer Pro guitar amp. The Hardshell case is better than most, as it has 3 hinges. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, but remember that it has a nitrocellulose lacquer finish, which means you'll need to take extra care to NOT leave a clip-on tuner attached longer than necessary. Thanks to Brian Loney for his great service- as always!
Sounds great!! Beautiful tonewood! Sloppy finishing work.
Gibson is notorious for sloppy finish work so it's no surprise that this would be my singular issue with the guitar. The guitar sounds BEAUTIFUL and the particular pieces of rosewood and spruce they chose for this build are top notch!!! But the finish work, particularly on the cap of the headstock, leaves a bit to be desired. I slightly bumped the edge of the headstock with my… read more clip on tuner as I was clipping it on and it caused a bubble in the clear top coat, which quickly became a fairly noticeable chip. Also there was noticeable dried glue squeezing out from the edges of the bridge, I was able to break those dried pieces away safely but that seems like something Gibson would do before letting it leave their shop. As far as the finish goes, it is not a huge problem for me because I do like guitars to get naturally worn over time, but if you're a person who obsesses over your guitars finish quality these Gibsons may not be for you.
