That's my favorite colorway and version of the HBird. Such a sweet sound! You gotta still be smiling every time you look at it an pick it up! Enjoy. Nice playing btw. Peace brother!
Beautiful Humming bird and sounds gorgeous! I just bought a Gibson Songwriter and it was the only good thing that happened last year since every thing closed down two months after I bought it!
Congrats mate ! got one last summer, its my go to acoustic if not go to guitar in general. Love the 61' aesthetics, Gibson under the new management has really been kicking up great quality on both their acoustic and les Paul line and giving us the models we craved with their original 50s and 60s series also. Thank you Gibson!
I am fortunate enough to own a 2001 Hummingbird Custom shop….cocobolo back and sides with some abalone. Wonderful guitars, and i hope yours will sound the same in 2041! Lovely sound, well done friend.
Update: it’s a great guitar but has the silver Grover tuners. Love it but tempted to change tuners one day lol. They just don’t fit the guitar’s aesthetic IMO
@@Markyrosonsame thing here. I got the Sunburst version, just beautiful but Grovers do not match the guitar IMO. I thought of swaping them to vintage ones but I'd have to drill extra holes on the headstock so that scares me a bit. Have you changed its tuners?
Very nice beautiful guitar great sound congratulations the last guitar I bought on Amazon left handed gretsch streamliner before that I got a LYX telecaster from Amazon
This guitar sounds just as fantastic as it looks, and yours has that one and only "Hummingbird" sound, possibly one of the best I've heard. I also have a Gibson Hummingbird, it's an absolute joy that bought a tear on first playing, I knew it was the "one". Congrats and kind of you to share the moment. We can tell you are somewhat lost for words, quite understandable, just let the music do the talking..
First chord I knew it was Angie…ca 70 Philippine…one of my buddy’s fave y still sing it for Angie fr Virginia our classmate then in the island (:…nice gift y ty for sharing…
Amazing, for my Birthday this past June 2023, my wife gave me the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson "Hummingbird". What's amazing is, It looks and plays like this Gibson. The sound is the same! The finish is not glossy which I love. If you can afford this Gibson Hummingbird, go for it. But if you can't, go with the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson. You might like it better? Happy Halloween! 👻🎃🦇👽🎸
nice one that a Sweetwater? humidipaks are great. one of daddario best creations. I have about three guitars I use them in. happy covid holidays happy playin😷🎅🎄
Sure, I still play it and It sounds great! I also have a Gibson J45 snd a Martin hd28v I play a lot and a Gibson J100 Xtra. And a couple more. I play the Hummingbird on specialoccasions, Or when i'm playing Rolling Stones songs. Lol. Thanks for watching, I appreciate you.
Yes saw it on some of your excellent covers. Sounds great. Keep the songs coming. Especially since the younger kids these days are getting interested in these great classic songs!
I couldn’t help but notice that you have an older Kenwood receiver !! That’s too cool because my dad had the same one when I was a kid and that’s the thing that cranked out all the oldies that turned me into a music lover ! Do you mind if I ask which model that Kenwood is so I can try and hunt one down !? Beautiful bird ya got there too! Sounds amazing!!
@@coreyjohnston4673 hard not to … that amp was a permanent fixture in my house growing up and how could anyone that knows it miss that volume dial !!?? 😜
Hi Corey, are you still happy with the guitar , I am looking at one right now in the Heritage Cherry? For me its either this one or the Gibson J-185, both Amazing Instruments ... God Bless! J... ( Toronto )
@@coreyjohnston4673 This is Denny, you probably know the song, but he makes great guitars also , I have 2, they are just as good as my Martins and Taylors. They have different feel ask sound from My Gibsons but very similar to Martine and Taylor.. th-cam.com/video/izQB2-Kmiic/w-d-xo.html
Hey Corey! I have a guitar just like this one. Supposed to be one of 167 examples of the year 2020 with exceptional quality. It really shocked me how great it sounded and it is only getting better :-) I use the Martin Vintage Monel strings on it. Very good match. But what I wanted to ask is about the case that it comes in. Mine has a Gibson case alright, but it is black, not brown like yours appear to be. It is also kind of strange because when the lid is closed you can actually see the side of the neck from the outside around the 12 fret or so. I think this must be wrong? I took it back to the store and asked but they insisted that it is the correct case? I argued that it would be impossible to humidify it given the conditions but the guy at the shop did not seem to understand the issue. I gave up further conversation with the guy right there 🙂 I would think that these guitars were delivered with the same kind of case for the run of 2020. What do you think?
@Tumbling_Dice They definitely gave you the wrong case, Imo. The case was definitely Brown, but then again I ordered mine from Sweetwater. Good luck brother!
What part are you what the fucking? The fact that I can't afford a good camera because i bought a guitar I saved up for, my face? My guitar abilities or lack of? What are you what the fucking coward?
Angie, only correct choice of a first tune to play on a new hummingbird!
Guitars beautifull! Hope i save for one soon :D
That's my favorite colorway and version of the HBird. Such a sweet sound! You gotta still be smiling every time you look at it an pick it up! Enjoy. Nice playing btw. Peace brother!
Thank you brother.
hello, I'm also waiting for my hummingbird. good luck.🇵🇹👍👍👍
gorgeous guitar way to go sounds great too !
Real nice Hummingbird! Great intro to Angie! Thanks for the post!
Thank you Jose!
I love it with the deluxe tuning pegs !That looks just right to me insteadof groovers
I fully agree. I wonder if you could swap out the Grover’s for the deluxe? 🤔
@@Markyroson I am pretty sure you can :)
Congrats! That was absolutely beautiful!!
Loved the Christmas tree my friend!
Use it for HIS glory

Beautiful Humming bird and sounds gorgeous! I just bought a Gibson Songwriter and it was the only good thing that happened last year since every thing closed down two months after I bought it!
Your cat saw that hummingbird buzzing around while you were pickin and grinnin

You lucky guy!!
Yes, thank you!

Thanks Mom, I completely forgot to show the back. I guess I got too excited :)
Beautiful guitar, congratulations and welcome to the Hummingbird family!
Does having a epi hummingbird considered in the family?
@@lovesecret0119 probably not
I have the true vintage.Hummingbirds are one the best acoustic guitars out there.
That's awesome man, yes they are great!
@@coreyjohnston4673 However the next step up is Santa Cruz Vintage Southern..🤭😜
Very nice Corey it sounds amazing right out of the box 👍

Beautiful guitar, now I'm considering that colour! Great way to christen it with some Stones!
That really sounds incredible! Gorgeous looking too. My dream dreadnought. Congrats dude
Beautiful hummingbird and it's just gonna get better. Trust me, I know, mine's 11 years old soon.
That’s awesome! I might’ve tracked down a 2016…hopefully it’s a good one haha. :)

humidipaks are great.
one of daddario best creations.
I have about three guitars I use them in.

Not likely. Sweetwater does a better job of shipping.
Nice purchase, Corey. Any chance on an update on how its done since you received it?
Sure, I still play it and It sounds great! I also have a Gibson J45 snd a Martin hd28v I play a lot and a Gibson J100 Xtra. And a couple more. I play the Hummingbird on specialoccasions, Or when i'm playing Rolling Stones songs. Lol. Thanks for watching, I appreciate you.

Great sound!
That sound❤
last song sounds like 6th avenue heartache by the wallflowers, I did a garage band version
That look more like a "Honey Burst".
Beautiful...has soul
Impressive sound just out of the box. Does it sound even better today?
Yes!
Amazing!
Sweet!
Indeed
I couldn’t help but notice that you have an older Kenwood receiver !! That’s too cool because my dad had the same one when I was a kid and that’s the thing that cranked out all the oldies that turned me into a music lover !

Sure, it's a Kenwood, KA 8100. Thank you for noticing.
