    1963 Gibson Hummingbird in collector condition. All original, including Gibson deluxe gold lined hard shell case. Totally crack free with no issues or repairs. Top profile is excellent with absolutely no sinking. Some light lacquer checking. Neck angle is fine, frets are excellent, no loose braces. Nice earlier 1-11/16" neck with a very comfortable profile. It has its original plastic bridge, which we have pondered replacing with a Brazilian rosewood replica. This guitar is professionally set up and sounds fabulous. Besides that rich Hummingbird sound , it’s louder than other examples we've played. Our thoughts are the tops may vibrate a bit more with the plastic bridges? However, we do offer the new owner an option of a old growth Brazilian rosewood replacement, which we would fabricate authentic in every aspect. This guitar belongs to my luthier who is an accomplished player and knowledgeable Gibson aficionado. Please see his 1963 sun burst Hummingbird we also have available. Video coming soon.
