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.

Love the sound, great quality!
Features can be a bit better..
Everything is perfect except the designs on the pick guard
Kind of girly but I recommend buying the guitar.

Epiphone should put the rosewood bridge pins on the Hummingbird like the Gibson counter part. I had to order the pins from the guitar center and the sound is unbelievable.

I did my reseach before buying a guitar, I was looking for something in the 200 price range and this is, by far the best guitar that I could find.

I have a hummingbird that is approx 6 to 7 years old, far better than the ones made now. My one looks and feels quality, today's ones sound and look like cheapies. It's a shame.
