Custom Fretted Instruments & Repair

1963 Gibson Hummingbird

[1963 Gibson Hummingbird]

Great sounding and playing 1963 Gibson Hummingbird. This one still has the factory original plastic bridge, with the adjustable ceramic bridge saddle. 1-11/16" nut. Quite good shape overall, and a nice bassy sound. Action is 4/64" and 6/64" at the 12th fret

When I got it, someone had already repaired the photographed top crack, so I left that alone. A back separation on the lower bout has been repaired (some glue running is visible inside). It was refretted here with .103 width fret wire and a new polyester nut was installed, and a bridge-plate repair has been performed. Original bridge pins, frets, and polyester nut are included in the case. There is some wear on the top near the pickguard and bridge area, and nice crazing and checking on the finish. The original cherry sunburst has mostly faded away, but the edges are darker than the center.

Old (70s or 80s, beat up) hard epiphone branded case included.
