Good Points

Easy playability, nice mellow tone.
Very eye catching appearance.


Bad Points

I know it's a lower end guitar but a case or gig bag included would have been nice. The sound would also probably improve with a bone nut, saddle and bridge pins. Next time I change strings I may do that.


General Comments

I picked up my 2006 Epiphone Hummingbird on eBay for $300 AU in almost new condition about 4 months ago. Apart from new strings I did nothing to it, and it plays beautifully. It has a nice mellow tone from the solid spruce top which allegedly improves with age, but tone wise it's still no match for my 30 year old Kiso Suzuki. For a Chinese made model it is finished well with no obvious perfections, and it really is stunning to look at. Other reviewers have commented that the scratch plate pattern wears easily, so I am careful when I strum not to scratch it. I play Neil Young, America, Pink Floyd camp fire type singalong stuff which it handles well.
