• JUST AS GOOD AS THE BIG LEAGUES!!!

  When I purchased this guitar I was dumbfounded. The Mahogany sides and back give the guitar its nice warm, solid tone while its Sitka Spruce top funnels the sound out the sound-hole perfectly. The headstock consists of the Epiphone Logo with its Epiphone/Gibson emblem, both in Mother-of-Pearl. The pins on the bridge also contain Mother-of-Pearl. Of course because of its remarkable price, the parallelogram inlays on the fret board are made of some kind of plastic mix. The thin neck allows the guitarist to move up and down the neck swiftly. What's really impressive is the hand-crafted interior of the guitar. There is more of a "v-shaped" structure on the inside, that doesn't disrupt the sound quality unlike the "x-box" structure in other guitars, that is hand crafted and shaped-in to leave more space for sound to resonate and sustain for a much longer time (3-4 bars of music to be exact). The reason for the 4 stars is that there were a few minor factory mishaps but I don't believe that anything is perfect.

  This is an astonishing guitar, for such a low price. Who could pay that up? I would recommend this guitar to anyone. It has a very bright sound and beautiful design. Don't pass this deal up!

  I ordered the ebony w./chrome hardware version of Epiphone's Hummingbird guitar. My guitar was delivered to my local Guitar Center. I took my new guitar directly to a local shop and had new strings installed along with a set-up. I am new to playing guitar and wanted to have somebody check the condition/sound of the guitar while I still had time to return it. I have been playing my new ebony Hummingbird everyday the past 3 weeks for at least an hour. The sound is big & rich. I originally debated between the Epiphone EJ-200 & Hummingbird thinking the hummingbird would not be "load" enough. I prefer the smaller size of the Hummingbird and in my 400 s.f. living-room, the Hummingbird has no problem filling the room with sound. The black paint, chrome, wood and inlay work is kind of amazing given the price of this guitar. I am an architect, furniture/product designer/fabricator and find it hard to believe that Epiphone can build something so beautifully crafted and detailed for a price that I would describe as a real value. Now I just need a hard-case as awesome as the Hummingbird especially before the dry winter season arrives and humidity control becomes an issue.
