Looks lovely.
Never tinkered with a Gibson acoustic - just Martins, Matons and Taylor’s.

 

[Big Derek]

Yes i had all the msrtins inc 3 D45 ,s plus all the Taylors there to thin for me timnie dound but GiBson seem to be more playable and just produce a great sound imho. Alass it dont matter now im getting old.

 

[G&T]

If only I could play. Beautiful guitar.

 

[Dave T]

That's a lovely instrument.... the present Mrs T is a fan of Gibson acoustics - she has a J200 and a Songwriter IIRC, along with a Martin of some description and a Washburn. I'm a drummer so a bit sketchy on the actual models.
She has LR Baggs electrics on one, possibly both of the Gibsons, and rates them highly.
I've shown her this, but she has her heart set on a particular J45...
Good luck with the sale, someone will end up with a beautiful guitar.

 

[Big Derek]

Yes I had a J45 great but not as nice and silky as the lovley Hummingbird.

........ she has a J200 and a Songwriter IIRC, along with a Martin of some description and a Washburn.........

Great minds - I have a Gibson J200, a Martin D28 and a Washburn EA40.......

BUMP for this lovely Hummingbird......

Indeed... I think her Washburn is an EA40 too
And, just to keep things on track - another BUMP for this fine guitar...

I had a D28 for years always poo pooed Gibson but wish I had tried there range earlier I have had many Martins, Taylors, and Gibsons now but never had a Washburn.

'Washie', as it's affectionately known, is actually an EA20 (I've checked), not an EA40, but it's probably the one that she'd never sell. It's done hundreds of gigs, plus the rehearsals. Been refretted at least once, needs doing again... financially isn't worth doing another refret on as they're only about £6-700 new (probably wasn't financial sense to do the 1st refret either but hey, it's not the money for this one...), but will probably get done anyway. Has a wear mark to the front where she's worn through the finish - smear of superglue on it to make it more robust in that area... and it was her first 'proper giggable' guitar... Looks a million dollars though with birds-eye maple back and sides... and plays like a dream... apparently...
