1969 Lyle Hummingbird (Japan Copy)

Amazing Japanese version of a Gibson hummingbird. It doesn’t sound as loud as the actual thing but it holds ups just as well as any Martin or Gibson I’ve played and I’ve owned several. The wood has aged amazing and it sounds awesome ! The trust rod will need to be adjusted in time but it’s ready to roll. The pick up is from the 60s , it works but would recommend changing it but I like the style and the look myself. Come check it out Lyle guitars are actually Gibson seconds, that for whatever reason didn’t pass muster to be sold as a Gibson (bad finish, scuff, imperfection in the wood, etc.). The Lyle company was out of Portland, OR (I believe) and was started by former Gibson employees who would fix the flawed Gibsons and resell them under the Lyle name. Made in Japan was because Gibsons were made in Japan at the time
