I had elixers on the Hummingbird to try them out. I just put on Martin SP's light guage and the tone when they are fresh is really great! Since I got them for like $3 a set, I should change them more often...

They are all great guitars. The third one is a 30+ year-old Gibson J-40 - a cheap jumbo made until the mid-70's. I bought it new in 1972 for $269, including better tuners. It is an extremely lightweight guitar and still sounds great after all these years, although it doesn't compare tonally to the other two, it is still a great instrument.

Here's a closer shot...
