1967 Gibson Hummingbird w/ K&K Pure Western Pickup

We bought this guitar in 2006 for $2600.00 from Emerald City Guitars here in Seattle.  Since then, we've had the neck re-set and new frets put on by a luthier at Trading Musician.

We had a K&K "Pure Western" pickup installed at Dusty Strings.

This guitar was used exclusively to record Shannon Stephens' "The Breadwinner" released on Asthmatic Kitty Records in 2009.  A bit about Shannon:

"Shannon Stephens began her musical career in 1994 as the voice of the band Marzuki, a folk-rock ensemble assembled by Sufjan Stevens."

It plays like a dream and has that rich, warm, vintage Hummingbird sound that can only come from a Gibson this old.

It's all original: tuning pegs, pick guard (screwed down), rosewood adjustable bridge.

The Serial number is: 390338

Full Disclosure:

-You'll notice there is a hole in the body from an old pickup.

Why we're selling:  The body on this model is pretty big and the cut-aways are shallow and this is causing severe upper back pain when played for more than 20 minutes.  This doesn't happen to most people, but many folks have complained of the "square shoulders" issue...

That said, it is still painful to sell this guitar and see it leave our family.
