This is a very hard to find "Norlin era" Gibson Hummingbird Custom from 1977 that plays and sounds great! The tone woods include a spruce top, mahogany back, sides, and neck, and a rosewood fretboard. The wine red finish looks great!
This guitar does show some cosmetic wear from over the years that includes various surface scratches, scuffs, and dents throughout the body with additional scuffs along the back of the neck and headstock. The back of the neck also shows some darker splotches of discoloration in the finish and the binding around the neck and body has yellowed from over time. There's also some residue build up underneath the pickguard. The bridge is original but has had a crack professionally repaired and re-glued by our trusted luthier, Tom Jacobs of Jacobs Custom Guitars. The frets have flattened out from over time but otherwise still play great with medium action.
The bridge pins have been replaced, and the bride was previously reglued, otherwise this guitar appears to be all original.
Includes the pictured OHSC and case candy.
