Yes, why not just house the battery near the endpin, tucked away all snug its own compartment? Why not, indeed. There is a little bit of a bow in the neck that needed a tweak on the truss rod before being pressed into service, and, once more, those Velcro pouches have proved themselves a poor choice for holding the electronics' 9V battery. While we are knocked out by the visuals and the attention to detail on the lacquer, the factory setup could use a little T and C.

There is a set of sturdy and fit-for-purpose gold-plated Epiphone Deluxe tuners, and rounding out the spec – and making it ready for the stage – there is an under-saddle Fishman Sonicore piezo with Fishman Sonitone soundhole pickup system, with volume and tone controls. The Indian laurel is reprised for the bridge, which has a bone saddle to match the nut. Still, Indian laurel is not to be sniffed at, and on balance is preferable to the pau ferro of the cheaper Epiphone model. On the flagship Gibson models, you'll get rosewood, and on the Gibson Studio models, you'll get a choice of walnut or rosewood. Here, however, Epiphone has used Indian Laurel. The scale length is an old-school 24.72", with the fingerboard offering a reassuringly feel courtesy of its Gibson-standard 12" radius. There is no mistaking this for a beginner's acoustic. The MOP fretboard inlay adds plenty of visual pizazz, too. The aged lacquer brings out the depth in that dark mahogany. Epiphone easily clears the first hurdle – providing the wow factor when you open the case.Īvailable in Aged Cherry Sunburst Gloss and Aged Natural Antique Glass, as reviewed, this Hummingbird is a real looker. The build follows a familiar tonewood recipe, partnering solid spruce on top with solid mahogany on the back and sides, and a mahogany neck.
