Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Quality is good for the price Reliability How has it stood up over time? I'm hard on my guitars, and mine has had it's share of getting knocked around. General Your general opinion of this product. Great Guitar, everywhere I take it, people are always commenting on its sound and appearance. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? I find it very easy to play. The action is perfect, and the neck is slimmer than my other guitars. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Definitely Dark and smooth! The first time I plugged it in, the guys in the band all stopped and were amazed at its sound. I've also noticed how it sounds better as time goes by. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Everything about the guitar is beautiful. Excellent color. Someone always comments on how awesome it looks whenever I open the case Action How was the action out of the box? Action out of the box was perfect. Only issue was the B string had a slight buzz down by the bridge. Took it to the local music store; they tweaked it a little and it's sounded great since.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? if it's Gibson, you bet cha. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Grrrrrreatttttt! General Your general opinion of this product. Beqautiful in looks and sound. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? As best I know. I've never learned to plly a guitar but it i on my adgenda. My father had an early 1960's Hummingbird Gibson that both he and Mother played and I never got tired of listening to it. When Dad died it went to my baby brother, whom some of you may have hear of. He diffently had a unique sound all his own. His name was Ed Yokley of the K.. Blues Band. This is one reason I want to learn to play and shy I'd like a Hummingbird. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Always beautiful of the person playing knowns how to play. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Probably lovely like all Gibson's Action How was the action out of the box? I'll have to wait and see.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Yes, made very well, but it is a Gibson. I plan on this being a life long friend. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Have'nt had long but have played for fifty years and experience tells me not to give it a second thought General Your general opinion of this product. Wanted one for many years, own Fenders, Martins,the action on this is great but the sound and volume is fantastic. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? even these sixty year old hands can get around on this one with ease, love the volume control in the sound whole, you can change and never miss a beat. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? rings out the best and I was pleasantly surprised by the sound when amplified, still great just louder. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? flawless appearance, as you can tell I've waited many years to purchase one of these but it was well worth the wait. Action How was the action out of the box? easy and fast action, very close to neck without the buzz.
