Gibson / Hummingbird True Vintage VOS / 2008 / Sunburst / Guitar For Sale
|
Only made between 2007 – 2013 the True Vintage Hummingbirds are incredibly detailed, fully hand built recreations of the 1960 original, featuring a Sitka Spruce top, Mahogany back & sides, Mahogany neck, bound Madagascan Rosewood fingerboard, and genuine hide glue construction throughout. The fingerboard features the original mother-of-pear split parallelogram inlays, with mother-of-pearl used again on the crown headstock inlay, and Kluson-style gold tuners. Luxury touches on the body include 6-ply top binding, 4-ply rear binding, Madagascan Rosewood bridge, with mother-of-pearl dot inlays, and a hand-painted and engraved Hummingbird scratchplate. Think Keith Richards playing Wild Horses and it takes you there. It’s as good looking as it is great sounding. Pure Americana. It strums beautifully, warm and rich, with a deep bass and a real bite in the trebles, it’s hugely versatile. It’s at home with country picking as it is stadium rock – just a classic. The guitar is in very good condition, with just signs of light playwear. It has an under saddle pickup fitted, and comes in it’s original, historic Gibson hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK 
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
