Re: Gibson Hummingbird Replica Acoustic guitar by columbus

: : Hi guys, I have recently inherited a hummingbird replica acoustic guitar made by columbus, and am trying to price and date it. Im unable to find anything, anywhere on the net for this type of guitar made by columbus. I have a feeling its from around the 70's, but cannot be sure. Any ideas?
: hey
: i have a columbus hummingbird
: i bought it about a year ago and it was £185 so i don't know how correct that is . I was also told it was dated from late 60's early 70's hope this helps x
: Thanks!
My father bought me one in 1976, it was my first guitar, it cost £45 then. The sound was and still is awesome particularly with new set of strings. I saw one in a music catelogue in 1984, it was priced at £120, which surprised me, but when you hear it you can understand. I've still got it and play it and it still sounds awesome, I can understand now why the guy who taught me then (who played in a band) regularly asked to borrow it for gigs. I'm pleased I've turned down numerous offers for it over the years.
humming bird by columbus
hello people i have owned one since new in 1974 38 years its my oldest friend (except for my mum) it still plays and sounds better than any other guitars i have owned and still own down to six now . my x wife bought it for me in 1974 for 40 pounds not much now but a fortnights wages back then . the best present i have ever recieved in almost sixty years on this planet and is played almost every day had many offers for it over the years but i would rather sell my soul to the devil than part with my columbus humming bird
For Sale?
Hi, My mum used to have one of these when she was a teenager as a gift from my grandad. It was stolen from her in a bitter divorce with her husband, and she misses it greatly.
I desperately want to find her another one and give it to her as a gift. Do you know of any for sale? Is your one for sale? I'm willing to pay above the market value for it.
