A Hummingbird arrived on my workbench at the shop today. When I first saw it I was hoping she was an MIJ version. I've been looking for one it seems forever, to match my MIJ Dove. Alas, no such luck, this one was MIK.

Not quite in the best of shape, but not terribly abused either. More neglected. She had a broken nut and was missing her bridge pins, plus one of the thumbwheel adjusters.
The top was also bellying up behind the bridge. I was having a very busy day and didn't have time to take a lot of pictures but here are a few grab shots with the phone cam for documentation purposes. Taken indoors unfortunately, so not optimum, and after the repairs and clean up but prior to re-stringing:

That one would match my MIK Dove very well.

Thanks for sharing it :D

I had my doubts at first but she actually played pretty well. The action remained low despite the lifting top.
Sound was not a terribly big projection but pleasant enough for a sittin' and a strummin' on the porch. :lol:
