    While I am going to Oklahoma City today or tomorrow I will be leasing to own a better guitar and I have been looking at Guitar Center. I fell in love with the Epiphone Hummingbird, but the looks don’t play well. So I am asking for some suggestions for a good sounding guitar for about 500$ or less. Don’t even care if it is 100$. Would love to have a good-sounding guitar, because when I get a fluent player and memorize and know how to use the Nashville Number system I will be playing for the worship team. So, I have a gig before I can actually play, but heard they were short-handed for guitarists. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    Try looking at Seagull Guitars – very well made and don’t break the bank.

    I actually did buy the <font color=”rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)” face=”inherit”>Epiphone Hummingbird – it is the model EC Studio Limited-Edition Acoustic-Electric Guitar Tobacco Sunburst. I was looking for a travel guitar – around $400. I first bought a fender but took it back and got the Hummingbird. I am </font>embarrassed<font color=”rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)” face=”inherit”> to say it was the hummingbird motif that sold me – I am a sucker for hummingbirds and have one in the headstock of my custom Martin D41. I put light strings on it and I enjoy playing it a lot. I just saw that guitar center has it on sale for $359. I think I paid $100 more than that. Good luck !</font>

      Yes, that is the one am looking at the limited edition tobacco sunburst. 359$ normally sells for 479$. I would be able to get a strap and a guitar stand for it. Two years’ worth of repairs if needed to protect myself for 499 for all of it.LoL. Thanks for ya’lls input.

      How do you like the Epiphone Hummingbird? I’ve been eyeing it for a while and hope to get it for my birthday coming up! 🤞🏻

    I’ve been looking at that same guitar! If you get it, let me know how you like it!

    My birthday is in December, and I’m hoping my husband gets it for me 🤞🏻🤞🏻
