Now, let’s see how the Epiphone Hummingbird Pro performs against another featherweight champion, the versatile Yamaha FG830. The Hummingbird Pro is an incredible guitar for the money you pay and a great knockoff of the 51-year-old original. This electric acoustic guitar has excellent ratings on and as an excellent alternative to the expensive Gibson Hummingbird. The nut and saddle are made of compensated bone, which is high-quality PVC, but the bridge and the fingerboard are made of Pau Ferro, a cheaper variety of rosewood.Įpiphone Hummingbird Pro is a guitar with which you’ll have no worries about banging it around and taking it on the road, a happy owner says. Few dreadnaughts in the sub $400 price niche boast Grover® Rotomatic® tuning keys and a Set Dovetail neck joint at the 14th fret. Aside from the solid spruce top, the back and sides of this electric acoustic guitar are made of laminated mahogany. The build quality does not exceed the $400 price tag. The SlimTaper patented neck profile allows for comfortable fretting without extra tension on the fingers. The body’s depth and the combination of tonewoods make the Epiphone Hummingbird Pro very suitable for country and rock music. The guitar’s low weight compensates for its bulky dreadnaught design and the lack of a cutaway. When I tested the Epiphone Hummingbird Pro and the original Gibson Hummingbird, I was amazed to find out that both guitars were equally comfortable to play. However, the high end is a bit too prominent, while the mid-range lacks depth and bass. The guitar maintains sufficient tone accuracy for band playing and gets on well with other instruments on stage when plugged in. Yet, I feel it lacks some of the warmth and accuracy of the unforgettable Gibson Hummingbird. The solid spruce top and the dreadnaught design without a cutaway give Hummingbird Pro’s sound sufficient loudness, depth, and sustain for unplugged playing in the local club.
