I have yet to find fault ...
I bought this guitar used, it is a Korean model manufactured by Samick in 1995 (an excellent year of production ...) licensed Gibson. Although similar, each is quite different from the "new" Epiphone Hummingbird manufactured in China ...
This model (same photo) produced in Korea between 1994 and 2002 (with minor cosmetic details different from one year to another), is a more expensive (430 Euros new) and a flawless finish. This is the most faithful copy of a Gibson Hummingbird True Vintage or early "sixties":
- Sleeve length 24.75 "(like the Gibson Hummingbird ...) 25.2" (Hummingbird Epiphone made in China ...)
- Machine type Kluson style retro Gibson Hummingbird True Vintage.
- Head Epiphone old style cut or logo appears in letters to well-formed pearl Gibson.
- Very large pickguard that touches the edge (binding), as in Gibson (of course with the hummingbird that sniff the flowers well detailed.)
- Beautiful sunburst finish predominantly orange and not red ...
UTILIZATION
The comfort of the game is fun and easy due to the shape of the handle rather thin.
Question form, entirely conventional for this style of guitar and a weight
reasonable.
SOUNDS
It produces a clear and harmonious typed a little more blues or a Yamaha dreadnought Martin D18 or D28. Nice warm tone, due to the mahogany of the body and good projection, solid spruce top vibrates under your fingers ... she sings the blues, country and folk and even classical! Like the original, or nearly ...
OVERALL OPINION
The build quality of the Epiphone Hummingbird by the luthiers at Gibson Samick under control is undeniable.
Excellent instrument on which it was fun to learn and to play ...
Super price / quality ratio.
Without hesitation, I would do the same choice.
