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 guitars - you can't go wrong with either one. You should try both and go by your own impressions - also have someone else play them and listen about 10 feet away. You'll hear the difference in projection between the two woods.

Epiphone Hummingbird?

I want to get one, because i think they're pretty... how good are they, and would it be pretentious to buy a guitar that stands out like this one if i'm not that good yet?
i'm not exactly sure what music i play, i prefer no pick, but i play chords and tabs, generally more tame songs, like a popular/campfire type.
Epiphone is an imported version of Gibson, however quite good. They typically have a rather sharp, bright sound. If you play the "tame" soft music, you may want to consider a Martin or Taylor if the budget allows. How about a classical guitar?
MANY BEGINNING GUITAR PLAYERS QUIT DUE TO BAD GUITARS. Buy a guitar that you like the sound of and buy all the budget will allow. If you invest enough, you are less likely to quit.
