In this video, Dagan takes a look at the classic Epiphone Hummingbird Pro Electro Acoustic in Faded Cherry.
Since it was first introduced in 1960, the Hummingbird took the music world by storm thanks to its incredible looks and instantly recognisable sound. However, the Gibson version was not the most affordable guitar! So, Epiphone decided to create their own version, allowing everyone to enjoy the incredible tone and signature design of this beautiful acoustic guitar.
The Epiphone Hummingbird Pro Electro Acoustic in Faded Cherry is a great cheap acoustic guitar that doesn’t suck.
A Solid Spruce top and Mahogany body help deliver the rich and warm chords you need with the snappy articulation required for fingerpicking.
A classic SlimTaper D profile neck is comfortable to play, making it a perfect beginners guitar whilst the budget-friendly price tag makes it ideal for those who want another guitar for around the home, or just want to expand their collection.

Mine has the same name but the battery access is internal and the V&T controls are in the sound hole. I bought it because I needed a flat-top to plug in for gigs.
First thing is, the plugged-in sound is better than I expected. Perfectly gig-able anyway.
Second, the acoustic sound was thin, so I bought a J-45 for acoustic sessions, but the bass has really opened up and, for the price, it's an OK acoustic.
Third, the neck. I have owned a range of guitars, from nasty to desirable, and this is about as good a neck as I have ever played on a mass-produced guitar. Low action, easy, fast, no buzzes, good proportions, and no fret work needed. Absolutely first-class.
I can't get used to that orange hue, wish it were tobacco burst or something, but overall I think I've got a winner here and I'm increasingly playing it rather than my other sixers.
By the way, the Dove has a longer scale length, which is why I bought the Hummingbird. Glad I did.
You play it in a way that brings out the True Tone of it. A really nice ax.
I love mine, it's comfortable, sounds awesome, and looks great. She is a pawn shop find with zero evidence of ever been played. (I've heard it said a guitar can really play the blues until it's spent time in a pawn shop, this lady plays the blues). The action was a bit too high so I fixed that a few hours after I took her home. This greatly increased the playability and intonation. Bottom line I have a great sounding and playable instrument without having to pay the big money as a real Gibson.
What is the body depth at the lower bout?
Got mine for 200 bucks at a pawn shop
Been practicing daily for a month and I love this guitar
thinking about one of these man
epiphones never let me down, son
I had one years ago and like a dumb shit I sold it. I regedit for years. I have a chance to buy one if I don,t drag my feet. I will let Ya know how it goes.
Mine sounds really good however I shouldn't play it after I've played my Sigma GJA-SG200 Jumbo which sounds a lot better.
I just bought ($400 Feb. 10,2023) a beautiful used (orange?) sunburst Epi Hummingbird Pro. (Disclaimer: I didn’t put new strings on it) It’s easy to play with decent action and a slim neck. The strings strum at nicely even volumes from 6th through to the first strings. It’s not a very loud guitar, but that works for my soft voice as loud guitars force me to shout-sing. I bought the Hummingbird because it has the built in pickup and electronics, which my cheap Epiphone 100 series dreadnaught doesn’t have. Perhaps new strings on both guitars would change my evaluation but as things stand, I’d say my cheap Epi 100 has a (slightly) better and (slightly) louder sound than this Hummingbird. That doesn’t concern me though as they both sound acceptable to my ears. ????
I just picked one of these up. So far I must say they are quite small guitars. Beautiful but doesn't quite come alive as one might expect!! I'm gonna change around the strings to see what I can achieve! Slightly below mid range quality. I recently played the masterbild version and it really does have a much richer sound to it, tho as expected with a much more expensive guitar.
So they have solid mahogany back and sides? I thought they were made with laminated particle board
i like the warm slight boxy tonality
I own a Gibson Hummingbird, and this one the Epi Hummingbird. I love them both, and would never give up the Epi bird, it has sweet clear sounding chords, crisp, almost cleaner than the Gibson model. Great guitar at a great price, it ain't hard on the eyes either! Get one! Even if you ever get a Gibson, you'll not likely give up this Epi version, The finish is beautiful and indestructible..unlike the Gibson model whose finish gets marred if you so must as look at it.
It sounds so teeny to me.
How does it compare to the inspired by Gibson epi hummingbird..
???????? dude
Keith Richards ❤️????
Getting one this Friday for my birthday. I've always loved the hummingbird guitars.
How would you compare this one to the Sigma Hummingbird one?
tried to order a hummingbird inspired by Gibson on line [ha ha]] done it wrong and clicked one of these .did not send it back bit of tweaking and it plays great for the money a great sound [not as full a sound as a Gibson of course not ] but plays a treat so a good mistake
Does anyone know if this has a nitrocellulose finish?
Who cares about the guitar, holy fk this guy can play!
Wow I was sold on this guitar until I saw this video. Sounds terrible. Super tinny without much warm tone at all.
but why does some of them have the controls on side and others in the sondhole?
I went to the park near my home. A kid was playing one of these, and, though I really don't strictly speaking NEED another guitar, went home and ordered one…it's on its way to me now. Watching these videos, I think I'm the only human to order one on black.
"usual hummingbird specs" lol, cept they used some of the WORST wood ever used in music in Pau Farro, at least go Indian Laurel, Farro is junk wood
Definitely Keef .
Lousy review. Thrashing and banging along with chin music equals a worthless review.
i desperatly want one of theese but need a new electric guees i'll have to wait ;-;
Bought one online three days ago and the knuckleheaded courier reckoned that I wasn't at home to receive it. Utter bullshit I was home all day and the concierge said that no deliveries were attempted. Now I'm tearing my hair our waiting, waiting, waiting, and waiting. Holy crap where's my guitar?
… and the Dove has a 25.5 inch scale length (Hummingbird is 24.75 inch). Hence, the bridge on the Dove is 0.75 inches further back.
sounds like shit
I have two Epiphones, an FT-100 & a Hummingbird Pro. Sadly, I must say that My FT-100 has a better & richer sound than does the Hummingbird. I am disappointed. I had a Gibson Hummer back in 1969. A very sweet guitar! I'm disappointed with the sound of the Hummer. It's has a kind of tinny sound. It was a gift & that was awesome. I'll keep it & play it, just not as much as my older FT-100. BTW, the FT was about 1/3 the price of the Hummer. I do love them both & named them both. I've named every guitar I've ever had, from my 1951 Tele thru the Martin & all the others. Once you become one with a guitar, it's your friend & friends deserve names. It's a whole bunch easier to have several guitars than it is to have more than one lady! There's no need to lie to them & they don't get jealous & clingy. If you don't like the sound of one, you can put it down & get another.
Would be nice to have a comparison of Hummingbird Pro vs inspired by Gibson Hummingbird
yeah i just got this guitar last week. and it is very nice
Sorry but not worth the money…buy a fender in this price range instead..
Hey can you do me a favor and play me something that Jesus wrote
Oh God!…. Keith Richards sounds like a nerdy horney perverted Band Geek when I get my hummingbird Pro I ain't going to spray paint the pick guard black NOT!!!
Epiphone is cheaper than Martin and offers an actual wood top on this price range
I am using Epiphone Hummingbird Pro. You can also watch my videos to get an idea how it sounds.
ive seen so many diffrent reviews for this guitar and it looks diffrent colours in each video can someone explain what the colour actually is thanks
Just wanna ask. Why some hummingbird got the volume etc setting on the side n some dont?
This sounds just like mine. Very accurate mike. I did upgrade mine with Tusq nut, saddle and pins. Changed out the strings to Exier 80/20 and it got much better.
Too twangy. Nice guitar but not enough beef in the sound.
Suena horribleeeeee!
It sounds very good, looks very good, and the feel I think is very decent. Back in the 90’s it was hard to find all these characteristics in an affordable guitar.
It looks good, but it sounds tinny to me.
Keith Richards of course!
Erghhh, don’t know man, just sounds too tinny for me but i really want it ????
Just bought one for my dad for xmas, at 67yrs old, he greatly deserves it ????????
