Epiphone Hummingbird Acoustic Guitar

The Epipiphone Hummingbird is my first Acoustic guitar i have not stolen off my dad. £300 is not a bad deal, seeing as the Gibson acoustics are all around £3000.
The looks and finish of this guitar are very nice, i enjoy graphics on my guitar as long as they arent too loud, and this 'mockingbird' illustration is just plain pleasent. The shape of the guitar is perfect so that it can sit on your lap for hours and not ache, partly due to its ...
...the best you can get for a £300 acoustic, and times I thought I was playing an electric, the fretboard was just so slim, the strings were at perfect distance from the fretboard.
The sound is not as good as the playability I must admit, probably because of the lightweight body, it is not hard enough to sustain the notes for a very long time, but I'd still say the sound and sustain are both average and what you'd expect for £300.

The shape of the guitar is perfect so that it can sit on your lap for hours and not ache, partly due to its incredibly light weight.
The playability is pretty much perfect, the best you can get for a £300 acoustic, and times I thought I was playing an electric, the fretboard was just so slim, the strings were at perfect distance from the fretboard.
The sound is not as good as the playability I must admit, probably because of the lightweight body, it is not hard enough to sustain the notes for a very long time, but I'd still say the sound and sustain are both average and what you'd expect for £300.
I am unsure as to how long this guitar will last. Because of the wieght I am afraid to let it get bashed around at all, and the guitar did not include a hard case, only a gig bag.
Still a worthy buy, excellent for £300, perfect for a begginer because of its excellent and easy playability, and fine more experienced guitarists to practise on as well.
