Epiphone Hummingbird Studio FCB

I have always encouraged my grandson with his musical `studies` and efforts and he has always responded well to my help. I said that I would buy him an acoustic guitar and he went searching on the web. He was looking for a black guitar [ a bit of a Goth ] but when he came across the Epiphone Hummingbird it was love at first sight. I bought him one on Ebay but the seller was a plonker who did not understand how to pack the instrument and it was ruined !! I then checked out Thomann and discovered that I could buy a brand new electro acoustic version of the Epiphone Hummingbird for just a small amount more than I had paid for the wreck from Ebay. The staff at Thomann were very helpful and patient with my questions and when the guitar arrived we were all very pleased to see the excellent packing which gave 100% protection to this precious instrument. When he got the guitar out of all that packaging I gave it a good going over - checking for any faults - no worries, there were none. It was perfect !! In tune out of the box [ tuned down a tone ] and perfectly in tune all the way up the neck. The finish was just beautiful and the sound of the instrument [ both acoustically and amplified ] was equally beautiful.
This has got to be one of the best buys for an electro-acoustic out there today. I know a bit about guitars - I started playing in 1955 when I was five years old and since then I have owned and played them all - Gibsons, Fenders, Gretches, a Vox, Zemaitis and old Epiphonesand Hofners and I can honestly say that my grandson`s semi-acoustic would sound really good up on any stage with any of them.
Congratulations to Thomann for selling this ultra high quality solid-top electro-acoustic guitar at such a reasonable price and enabling young students to learn on the best. I lost count of the number of friends who gave up on learning to play the guitar because they thought that it was their fault that their efforts sounded so bad - they didn`t realise that the shops were busy selling rubbish that were built all wrong [ frets in the wrong place, bridges in the wrong place etc. etc.]. None of that with Thomann - they did us proud !! I am VERY pleased and you should hearmy grandson play now - sweet !!

I ordered an humming bird pro from Thomann and at first i said shit man this guitar is not going to reach India in one piece , then after 3 weeks of sleepless nights ! This morning around 7am the post man rang me up and said we have your guitar for you we can deliver in 15mins i really felt like a kid on Christmas morning.

Anyway i cut open the box praying the guitar is safe and man one look at it i fell in love , it was in perfect shape all good.
I tuned it up and payed a G chord it rang like bells.
Hats off to Epiphone for building such a beautiful guitar.
And big shout out to Thomann for sending my dream guitar.
( Guys if your looking for an acoustic guitar for a life time this is it don't think about it buy it )

I ordered this guitar as I have been a fan of the Gibson Hummingbird for some time, having seen Keith Richards and Jeff Lynne use them and look cool as while doing so. As I am not long out of uni I unfortunately cannot afford the Gibson, but this Epiphone is just a beautiful and affordable for a student. As such, I thought i'd treat myself to this lovely guitar to help pass the time during lockdown.

The guitar came within 5 day to my home in Birmingham, UK and was in perfect condition. The guitar sounds absolutely fantastic with a rich tone. It's easy to play and is great value for its price; i'm very happy with my purchase. The only thing that might let it down is that the great sound is somewhat diminished when plugged into an amp. Even so, would still buy again!
