Advantages: very playable Disadvantages: short sustain
The Epipiphone Hummingbird is my first Acousticguitar 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 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 ...
Ephiphone is great brand .This guitar is good for all condition .This one had the biggest "bark" and was the easiest on the fingers.
This model have a good points:
-The guitar has "bling"
-The guitar has "bark"
-The setup was perfect
-There were no flaws that I could detect to the workmanship
About the quality this is Rivals the high-priced Gibson counterpart in sound and playability.
Is this the best acoustic in the world, NO. Would you see many artist on stage at a major venue playing this thing, probably not. BUT, for only $400 , it sounds DAMN GOOD, plays extremly well, and seeing how I doubt I will ever play a major venue, who cares if major artist aren't playing one.
You must take it for your music style ...
Advantages: Big sound, Big tone Disadvantages: Big body is not good for some tastes
First off, I will explain quickly the main specifications on this beautiful guitar:
Spruce top, Maple back, sides and neck, Jumbo sized guitar, No cutaway.
This guitar is absolutely gorgeous. If you find a picture of it, you will know exactly what I mean. First impressions on this guitar are that it looks wonderful, and is a very big bodied guitar.
This may take some getting used to, but after the first few plays, it becomes easier. The tone on this guitar is well suited for many aspects of playing; I personally am an indie/rock player, but it suits blues and plays jazzy styles well too.
It isdefinitely more of a strummers guitar than a solo-ers (if that's a correct term) guitar. THe higher frets are harder to reach, and with no cutaway, getting above 15 is pretty hard. The neck is very smooth and fast to play on, almost begging ...
