I have a 1962 Global Hummingbird that I recently acquired in a trade. Mine has a three piece inlaid back and upper and lower pick guards. I am trying to find out what the value is if anyone out there has any first hand knowledge, let me know. Thanks avbailey@cityofpowdersprings.org: : : I have what seems to be one of very few guitars left that were made by global musical instrument company, which was in turn manufactured by sorento, nola, bolero, sonata, and torino. If anyone has any ideas, info, or pics even lemme know

: Hi Luke. I have one of the Global Hummingbirds, which is about 30 years old now and mint. After doing some research, I discovered that Gibson actually made these guitars for a short time, I believe before epiphone. The sound is exceptional. They did a nice job. If you look at the current Gibson Hummingbird accoustic pic gaurd, and compare it to the Global Hummingbird, they are identical. This was how I found Gibson. You can find some references to them on the Gibson web site. They also made Global electrics.

: Hope this helps.
