Great review. Was very informative and I look forward to seeing and reading your past and newer reviews!
I bought one a couple of months ago. It's a great guitar.
I have one and really love it. It is a cannon when you really strum it. It sounds like a Hummingbird should. As for the weight, I do not notice any difference between Martins my family have and I play.
Thank you .... solid review as is the guitar itself! James
great review - really helps
I got one coming tomorrow. I am just l
Learning to play This looks and sounds amazing!!!
Does anyone know how this compare to the Masterbilt Hummingbird? I'm so confused which one is the best hummingbird from epiphone?

I really want to give one of those a try. Just need to find one. As the light reflects off the headstock when the guitar is swung around you can see indentations where all six tuner nuts were cranked too tight during assembly.
Sounds louder than any Hummingbird I ever played. I’ve tried a Gibson Hbird a few times and they always had a sweet tone but not much volume and power. I always went home with a Martin instead. But yours sounds pretty lively!
Are using new strings on yours? Because it sounds so much better than the J200 IBG I had
Please let me know where I can buy a Gibson Hummingbird for $2800.
Reverb but it’s the studio versions not the lovely aged cherry and pick guard we all love
Sounds great. You probably couldn’t tell the difference hearing a rhythm track recorded with a Gibson HB or an Epiphone HB.
Damn you. I was content not getting a new Epiphone since I can't find the inspired by 200s anywhere, but after hearing your review I need one of these now!!
Dude ikr I want the natural and cherry hummingbird, they are amazing
I originally made the mistake of getting the pro version years ago. Lack of knowledge at the time. I hated the sound ,feel , everything about it. Then I found the inspired by. Total opposites. Sounds so much like the real hummingbird it's crazy.
What guage pick are you using here???
You think it sounds good now? I bought the guitar and was amazed at how thick and gummy the pick gaurd was on the sound board...l removed it..amazing difference in tone and projection!
I have many guitars and of all my acoustic guitars, one's being a very expensive Martin my epiphone masterbilt is by far the best. I'm looking at getting this Hummingbird since I know it will be a fantastic guitar.
What's your Masterbilt model?
@@LegsON mine is a DR-500 MCE. You can find them for about 500 bucks used with a case.
Great review what color is that ?I have seen the cherry sunburst but really digging this color.Thanks for the review have a great day.
It's the Aged Antique Natural finish
Love mine. As good as any gibson hummingbird I have tried.👏👍❤️
good to hear! I just bought mine arrives friday
Nice guitar
Cool dude 😎
I own one of these, as well as the IBG J200. It's a great guitar.
If you could only keep one, which do you choose?
@@-_AjB_- without a doubt, the J200. I like the Hummingbird a lot too, but the J200 just suits me better.
I have the IBG J200 as well, love it. This Hummingbird will be my next purchase, they have done a remarkable job with these
Just got mine today. I have the J160E and the Hummingbird is way, way better. I mean, this is truly inspired by Gibson, and sounds close to Keith 's Beggars Banquet era tone. The J160E just looks like a Gibson.
Awesome guitar 🎸The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Hummingbird Aged Natural Antique Gloss elektrisch-akoestische westerngitaar is on my wish list (€845,00)
Whats the guitar in the background?
Where are flying while you playing))))
I think Adam Barrett needs a sig model from Epiphone. During the Pandemic, I think he must have ben responsible for many sales of this model. I know i bought one. Black in color. You got your chops, brother,.
I wonder why they didn’t put the battery in the bottom with the output jack like Martin’s so it was easier to get to?
It’s inside Velcro’ed to the neck block…not easy or convenient. How much more would that of cost?🤷♂️
And it’s a really nice guitar, I have one… but it’s not as nice as the Gibson to be totally honest.
i mean to be fair its not as expensive either 🤷♂
I had one and it weighed a tonne heavier than the real Hummingbird and it just wasn’t resonant at all it sounded dead prehaps different strings would have helped but also the top is so thick I just think they are overly built I so old mine as the weight was too much My cheap Ibanez beat it hands down and it’s light as a feather fit very resonant
Mine doesn’t weigh anything hardly at all
Well done.
Heavy!? Perhaps it’s time for you to hit the gym….
Demoed just the way an acoustic should be played. Thank you for playing it in a conventional singer song writer way.
There is no equalizer or pickups correct
Great playing, but the guitar has no low-end in that video.
I had one for a little while. I was excited and it is definitely a good guitar but it’s way too heavy. After a while I couldn’t stand it and sold it already.
I agree, the quality is excellent, sound excellent, I did return mine because of the overall weight of the guitar
When do you ever play an acoustic standing up anyway? Your crazy man I have the frontier and it sounds brilliant never mind the weight.
Wow ladie r u serious
@@steveshepard5522 Wow ladies r u serious
@@spada60 Obviously you don’t have one or ever picked one up.
Am I the only one bothered by the horrible fret rattle from hitting the strings so hard with the action too low? The guitar should not sound like that.
@@timothyyy1259 which is why I wrote: "hitting the strings so hard with the action too low"
@@teodelnorte Better idea, I'll mute you to save time.
You play beautiful y
Not much bass or sustain but for that price I expect that...
This recording is HORRIBLY bright and I prefer bright guitars. 🙉 These guitars are not this bright in person. Yikes.
He's strumming it like an electric lol. Unfortunately, not everybody can strum tastefully on an acoustic.
Didnt work for me, just not well balanced or mellow enough between bass and treble, far too much treble not enough low end boom to balance it. I could see it at $500 but not near $900.
Wow, that really sounds awful. Is it due to the recording setup, or are these guitars actually that dead and brittle?
your microphone is horrible
THAT GUITAR IS DEAD, PLAY IT AGAINST THE GIBSON, NO COMPARE....PERIOD!!!!!!
Re listen lmfao.
Gibson Hummingbird is the most UGLY looking guitar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whyy
Informative.
Finish your juice box saoirsepaddy and go outside and play. 🙄
