Well, color me impressed. I'm used to Breedlove, Seagull, Yamaha, and Guild all making $300-500 acoustic imports that are orders of magnitude better than imports of old at the same pricepoint (adjusted for inflation). So much impressive stuff these days...
But I haven't messed with Gibson lower end stuff in decades
Yesterday I played a brand new Epiphone hummingbird pro (see pic below) an Indonesian made copy of a GIbson Hummingbird) and damn if it didn't have some serious magic for an entry level guitar -it wasn't bright and almost tactical in the sharpness of tone like a Breedlove or a Taylor but rather mellow and round and had different kind of sweetness.
I think it was in the mid 300s in price -and since I own a dozen acoustics and don't need one -so I didn't bring it home...
but anyways -something to consider if you find a good one that speaks to you.
