WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
It’s a wonderful guitar that delivers a rich tone, great looks, and a durable build for a very low price. |
This list was always going to have a couple of Epiphones on it, and the Hummingbird certainly deserves its place. We really like the attention to detail and design of this guitar, but the ergonomics and overall tone really back it up. The Shadow pickups are a particular highlight - really helping to get across the bright tone of this particular guitar model. You can barely believe it’s under $500. |
