This is a decent guitar for the price point. It is well made, has a nice, balanced sound, good tone, and, for the money, really is a decent guitar. It sounds, honestly, just as good as any of the Seagull Guitar models, or any of the "lower-end" ($ 600-$ 800 and up) Martins or Taylors. Isn't that a shame when you spend $ 600-$ 800 on a guitar, and it is considered to be their "lower end", or more consumer friendly labeled "Entry Level" instruments?

The craftsmanship is pretty good based against what you will see, generally, from instruments in this price range.

It's only drawback is that it doesn't have a ton of volume. It isn't very loud, and doesn't project very well. Really, that's my only quibble with this guitar.

Some of the factory set ups can be hit and miss, so, plan to need to take this to your local music store for a professional setup. Once professionally set up, it plays really, really well.

As a note, also, I wanted an Epiphone Hummingbird guitar, but did not want the bright "Cherry Burst", as it comes in. I've always been a fan of "Tobacco Burst", which this guitar is very near to, so, I decided to go with this model. I found that Epiphone (Gibson) doesn't sell much in the line of aftermarket parts, so, the only hope of putting a Hummingbird pick guard on this instrument, which I had intended to do, is to buy an aftermarket replica. I like to have original manufacturer parts on my instruments, so I'm stuck with it, as is.

It's still a Hummingbird, just without the Hummingbird pickguard that makes the Hummingbird a Hummingbird.
