Location: Brisbane Australia | Hummingbird's weren't produced til 1960
Made in Kalamazoo 1961 according to that serial number.
Depending on condition probably $3-5k

Location: Boise, Idaho | Just did some research on these for a friend, but have already forgotten most of it. The old ones and the new ones bring some decent prices, but the ones from the 80s are so-so. There was an 80s vintage for sale for $1500 that I don't think ever sold. I compared it to a fairly new $200 Epiphone Hummingbird and the Epiphone sounded better. |
