If it's been played a lot it's bound to sound nice and airy and even an Epiphone Hummingbird is about £230 these days. Vintage is great too! Looks gorgeous but I see what you mean about those bridge pins - it's not one of those fancy systems that are joined under the bridge and claim to make the tone better? I was thinking of something like those power pins?

Ooooo nice one, DefJef!!! Hope all is good! That is one odd looking bridge. Can you replace that yourself? I'd suggest ebony bridge pins for the 3 bassy strings and water buffalo horn for the upper three

It's an odd one alright marit . I'm hoping it's been done for a constructive reason by someone who was aiming for a particular improvement. Not just because the bridge plate broke! I hope that too, DefJef. Where did you get it from and how much was it (if I dare ask).

For £96 if it's a half decent beater it will be alright! I hope it's more than that though - is it on its way to sunny Wales? It definitely looks the part!

Just watched a few youtubes for similar guitars; this fella says he prefers his to a real Gibson J45:
His touch is bit heavy but it sounds pretty good
this one sounds great:
