    First guitar I ever strummed was a 61 gibson hummingbird. It belonged to my great grandfather who passed away last week at the age of 92. A few months ago he picked it up after 20 years and by muscle memory could still play it.

      @@Shred_The_Weapon I wish it would've as well. My grandmother and her dad (my great grandfather) had gotten into a wreck in 1960 and destroyed his previous guitar. The insurance paid for what was needed to replace the vehicle and my grandmother had a little left over so she bought him a a brandnew 61 hummingbird for what she recalls costed $300 with the case. I figured it would go back to her but, she said shes not sure who got it. Im hoping his youngest grandaughter got it cause she actually plays guitar, but i have a feeling it ended up in my great aunts hands and she's the type to keep it just so noone else could enjoy it.

    At 02:30 and a bit after; nice close-ups!I really like how the reflections show that the wood has shrunk between every tree ring the top intersects. That top would have been mirror-smooth when sold. I wonder if the Market thinks that is a plus or a minus. To me, it is like grey hair, a sign of the quality that comes with age!
