J45 vs Hummingbird : Only One Gibson Is Staying

Instagram: DrippyTones

Having one great acoustic around the house makes a lot of sense for me, but deciding what that's going to be is a bit difficult. I'm really more of an electric player, so it doesn't make sense to have a bunch of acoustics around. In this video, I break down what separates these two Gibson guitars from each other and which one I ended up deciding on. Hummingbirds are not often stocked in stores so it can be hard to compare these two. Hopefully it helps anyone in a similar situation.
