Before you buy a used Hummingbird
- Look at the top and the bridge. Ask for photos along the top from the side: a bulge behind the bridge, or a bridge lifting at its back edge, means a repair is coming. Small finish cracks are cosmetic; cracks in the wood that open and close aren't.
- Check the action and the neck angle. If the saddle has been sanded right down to get a low action, the guitar may need a neck reset, which costs several hundred pounds.
- Ask how it's been kept. Acoustics dry out in centrally heated homes. A guitar stored in its case with a humidifier is a better buy than one hung on a wall above a radiator.
- Check the headstock for a repair. Gibson and Epiphone headstocks snap more than most. A well-done repair plays fine but takes 30–50% off the value, so it should be in the title and the price.
- Be wary of a price far below typical. Fakes (especially of Gibson, Martin and Fender Custom Shop) and scams are priced well under the going rate to look like a bargain. We flag anything 35%+ under similar listings and never count it as a deal. Our fake guitar checklist has more.
- Think about postage. A guitar needs a proper box and careful packing. Many sellers offer collection only: the location is shown on every listing.
- Pay through eBay. eBay's Money Back Guarantee only covers you if you pay through eBay. Never pay by bank transfer outside it, however good the deal.
Questions
How much is a used Hummingbird worth?
Based on today's eBay UK Buy It Now listings, a used Gibson Hummingbird typically costs £3,529, including postage, across 11 listings from £1,486. These are asking prices, so a guitar can sell for less, especially with Best Offer. Year, condition, finish and any upgrades all move the price.
What is the Hummingbird?
The square-shoulder dreadnought with the hummingbird pickguard. Made in USA. Made 1960–now.
Which years of the Hummingbird are for sale?
Today's listings that give a year run from 1976 to 2024. Use "Newest year" or "Oldest year" in the sort to find a particular era.
Is it safe to buy a used Hummingbird on eBay?
It can be. Pay through eBay so the Money Back Guarantee covers you, buy from sellers with a long, positive feedback record and ask for photos of the serial number, the neck and the frets. We flag new and low-feedback sellers, and warn about prices far below typical, which is where most fakes and scams sit.
