Gibson 90th Anniversary Hummingbird Acoustic Guitar w/Case (1984-1985)

This guitar is in good condition with some repairs done in our shop. The truss rod and tuners are working well with no issues, the frets have some wear but still have plenty of height left in them. The guitar has had a back crack repaired by our techs as well as a lifting bridge reglued in our shop. The repairs are holding well with no issues. A full setup was also done and the guitar has been strung with D'Addario XS 12-53 strings. An aftermarket hard shell case is included.

This is a fairly odd instrument to figure out as it has numerous quirks about it. The previous owner said that the person he bought it from got it from a Gibson employee and that the person received the guitar without a pickguard. Inspecting the guitar up close shows that no pickguard was ever put on as there would be some degree of change to the finish or wear from removing it which is not present. Spec wise, it all lines up with how a mid 80's Hummingbird would have been made except for the obvious lack of a pickguard but also the finish. Cherry Sunburst is most common while this guitar has an almost Cremona Burst to it, which is not a standard offering for this era. The coloring also doesn't look like it's a Cherry Sunburst that has faded over time to this color as it's far too uniform and clean. The serial number on the headstock is an 8 digit serial (81015530) while the label on the inside seems to have been put in wrong (8101530). The numbers are so close that we don't feel there is anything untoward regarding the history of this instrument.
