what is this?
Guitar Center is not my favorite place to go to look for stuff but it's close to campus and I can stop in on the way home without going too far out of the way and wasting too much time. Tonight I saw a used Gibson hummingbird in the acoustic room so I figured I'd give it a try to see if it was any different than an old copy made by Pan (aria) that I have in my herd. Well, it was disappointing to say the least. Didn't seem to have nearly the volume or balance as an indonesian (or chinese) made guild concert body that I picked up afterwards. The neck on the bird felt great but damn, it really wasn't much to write home about and it still had a $2200 price tag on it used.
Which brings me to my question to everyone here who owns a Gibson acoustic: was this one just a fluke? I know the models vary and I've also heard negatives about some other gibson acoustic models but more in terms of overall sound, not necessarily volume. I guess I expected more out of a dreadnaught.
