The Hummingbird Artist has a laminated top. The Pro has a solid top. Both have Laminated backs and sides so the backs and sides will never "Break In".

The hummingbird is mahogany a softer wood, also more prone to warping. For $100 more I would buy the ej 200 maple, louder, more crisp & will last longer, a better buy for only $ more sturdy guitar.. Have both in Gibsons & epiphones. The ej 200 is just like my Gibson the Hummingbird is much less quality.

FC probably stands for Faded Cherry burst. The Epiphone Hummingbird Pro has a few upgrades including a spruce top and a Shadow Pickup System that allows the player to plug into an amplifier. The Hummingbird Artist has a mahogany top. Generally, a solid spruce top is preferred but the solid mahogany top is not necessarily inferior. It just depends on what the player is looking for. They are both great guitars. Also, the Pro has an artistic print on the pick-guard whereas the Hummingbird Artist has a plain black pick-guard. They both have mahogany backs and sides. The Hummingbird Pro seems to be a better replica of the original Gibson Hummingbird, if that is what the player is after. FC probably stands for Faded Cherry burst.

The pro has to pick up system. That's all..nothing to write home about though

The Epiphone Hummingbird Pro has a solid spruce top and Shadow electronics. The Epiphone Hummingbird has a plywood top, no electronics and no etched pickguard. They are two different animals. Both models have plywood sides and back. The back and sides will sound no different on either model.

One of answers mentioned that you would need a setup if you buy this because they don't do a good job in China setting them up. For starters, the Epiphone Hummingbird Pro is made in Indonesia. No place else. All of these Guitars are set up stateside by Epiphone and have stickers to prove that is true. The cheaper Epiphone Hummingbird ($199.00) without a solid top and no etching on the pickguard and no eletronics is made in China. Difference between Apples and Oranges.

Sorry, I don't know the difference in the models, but they do sound very similar in the description.

I'm not sure of the weight of the Hummingbird, I've used it on my Lowance HDS Touch 7". It weights about two pounds give or take. It has performed well with it. Hope this helps.

the one I purchased was excellent, and it had the GREAT sound you expect from any Gibson guitar. It souns so great that I rarley use the electric component. I have also a sj200 and an advanced jumbo; all three have different sounding, but you cannot go wrong with a Hummingbird, and it is a beautiful guitar.

Sorry, am only familiar with the one we own and which we like we like very much. Not familiar with the other model so can't offer a comparison.

Grandson has a hummingbird 998 and 984 and he has borrowed my navionics card but do not know if the one you have will accept, I would suggest you find someone that has the navionics and see if their card will work in yours, check the next time you are at a ramp around people with electronics as they can pull out the card and I assume your unit has a place to plug one in (they are like a camera storage card).

Well, thanks for trying. I hope they reply! I noticed they merged those two models with their description as well which makes it hard to figure out the differences. If you dont get a response I'll definitely try to call and find out.

The only difference is the plastic. One is dark purple, which looks black, and one is a slightly translucent blue. Both run on the same frequency: 2.3MHz.LW is correct in that the blue ones are the older model.

The real question is what kind of unit do you have,(humminbird,lowrance etc) and buy what is compatible with your unit. Hope this helps

Not sure about the feature differences but this model is the only one they make with a lifetime warranty. Which was what prompted me to make the purchase. Hope this helps.

Yes this is the Pro version. There are three differences between the Pro & Standard - 1. Thickness the Pro is 0.105" thick 2. It has a non-slip foam backing 3. It has a stronger magnet. This model, sold by Amazon via iFixit is the Pro version as it meets all of these requirements. I visited the iFixit website for the info on the differences and then checked mine out when it came in. Hope that helps.

They are basically the same. The difference is in the nails they use. The fc350 takes a clipped headed nail. The fr350 uses a full round headed nail.

I compared specs of this against the newer FFRS1222Q1 and the only difference seems to be the CFM (cubic feet per minute) airflow rate at highest speed, being 500 on this one and 339 on the new one. Additionally this one claims to cool 640 sq ft, while newer one is just 550 sq ft, probably a result of a lower fan speed. Not sure why they would make a new model just to lower fan speed. Maybe it's quieter, but there's nothing in the specs for that.

Good question! To tell you the truth, I don't know either. If you go to DJI website and compare all the specs, they all have the same ranges, same power, etc. FC40 flying time is shorter but you can pay $7.00 to $20 to upgrade new V2 props, get a 5000mah battery, etc... other than that I don't understand why people want to spend more. Notes: Phantom 1 use 2.4 ghz which is good to upgrade with 5.8 ghz FPV system, V2 and V2 plus use 5.8 ghz just like fc40, they have wifi extender ehich you can get a home extender for your fc40, it's much cheaper... although V version has better camera (so what?). If you find anything different, please let me know so I can educate myself too. Cheers! Good question! To tell you the truth, I don't know either.
