whats the difference between an epiphone hummingbird and an epiphone dove? which ones better? What would you suggest for a beginner?
The Hummingbird has mahogany back and sides, the Dove has maple. This gives the Hummingbird a slightly warmer tone. It's also braced a little differently, supposedly to even out the bass, making it a good guitar for a vocalist. They are both very nice

Is it a good idea to put a pickup with preamp on an epiphone hummingbird?

I have an Epiphone hummingbird which I want to use because of it's rich sound. But I won't be able to use it on stage if it doesn't have a pickup. So I want to know whether putting a pickup with preamp on it is a good idea?
Sure, why not. You can get good pickups that fit in the soundhole, and it will be a much clearer sound than through a microphone, and with a lot less feedback. Dean Markley and Seymour Duncan make pretty good ones. I don't know if they have preamps
