1996 Epiphone Hummingbird - w/HSC (Samick Factory Korea)

Description

Epiphone Hummingbird in heritage cherry sunburst finish with aftermarket hard-shell case.
Built in 1996 at the Samick factory in Korea.

The mid 90's Hummingbirds have a lot of features which differ from the newer versions such as the non-elongated headstock, sharper looking 'script' style Epiphone logo, Kluson tulip tuners and the burst on the finish reaches right out to the shoulders.

Few light marks / scratches only visible in certain light. There are 2x dings......one on the top at the lower bout and another on the lower side. I have tried to show these in the images as best as I can. Both are cosmetic and do not impact sound / playability. Otherwise in very good condition throughout for a 29 year old guitar.

Guitar has been fitted with an aftermarket under-saddle pickup.

I am downsizing my guitar collection, hence reason for sale.
