A Solid Step Up

Milvo 28.01.2021

As an aspiring guitarist heading into intermediate territory, I wanted to upgrade my acoustic from my 40-year-old Guild dreadnought to something with better resonance that would reward my improvement and encourage me even more.
The Epiphone Hummingbird was the answer. Its tone is superb, particularly on the bass side, and of course it has the famed cherry burst look and hummingbird pickguard design of the vastly more expensive Gibson original.
The Sonicore pickup and hidden volume/tone control are fine for an intermediate player but more accomplished guitarists might prefer something more sophisticated for their preamp purposes.
What's really impressive about the guitar is the build quality. While a discount version of the Gibson original, it's not a cheap plunker and you would expect the finish to be up to scratch, which it is. The frets are smooth, the body wood quality is outstanding, and the joins are flawless. It feels reassuringly heavy and the faded gloss burst finish is gorgeous. It's a shame Epiphone didn't offer at least a gig bag for a guitar at this price but you can't have everything.
Kudos to Thomann for their service, which helped me with a glitch during purchase and made sure it got to me in Paris in no time.

Good alternative to the overly expensive Gibson

Richie40 10.07.2021

Bought this as I wasn’t prepared to pay stupid money for a Gibson Hummingbird.
Very impressed by the sound and build quality, no problems at all.
As a result this is a joy to play .

Sounds better than my Gibson

AndyM75 27.02.2021

I am fortunate to own a Gibson J-35 and the hummingbird sounds better to me. It has a fuller and richer sound. I did a lot of research before buying this and am so glad i did. I am in the uk and didn't realise i had to pay vat to DHL but it was till 25 quid cheaper than buying in the UK. I am going to sell the J35 and buy the inspired by Gibson J200.

Eine fantastische Gitarre

Rolf582 30.11.2020

Ich war zuerst sehr unsicher. Kannte die Videos von Anderton (glaubwürdig) und anderen YouTubern, habe aber schon einige Erfahrungen machen müssen, dass die Realität dann doch ganz anders aussieht (klingt). Kann hier aber Entwarnung geben! Die Gitarre klingt voll, dabei sehr harmonisch, voluminös, hat ein gutes Fundament (Bass), ist 1a bespielbar und in allen Belangen wertig. Was nicht ganz offensichtlich ist, dass es sich bei dieser Epiphone auch um eine Masterbilt handelt (ist etwas verwirrend, da die Masterbilt parallel eine eigene Reihe von Gitarren spendiert bekommen hat) - steht aber ganz groß auf dem Werkskarton. Man findet mit Suchbegriffen wie Hummingbird Masterbilt auch entsprechende englische Videos, Auch das Masterbilt-Video (Geschichte) ist sehenswert. Fazit: Spiele seit 30 Jahren Gitarre, in Bands, Solo,usw. - diese Gitarre ergänzt ab sofort meine Martin u. Ovation mit ihrem wunderbaren Klang. Einzig das Pickupsystem mit Output am Gurtpin und 9V-Block in der Gitarre missfällt mir ein wenig. Ich habe auch lieber außen liegende Regler (der fehlende Punkt bei Features). Aber das ist Geschmackssache.
