The Gibson Hummingbird Original Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Heritage Cherry Sunburst is based on the Square Shoulder legend, coveted for its beautiful burst and iconic etched pickguard. The Hummingbird has long been an object of desire for singer-songwriters and anyone who appreciates great guitars with a strong sense of style.
The combination of Sitka Spruce and Mahogany provides a focused, articulate tone that's perfect for singing along with. Chords sound big, full, and focused compared to the more harmonically complex voice of Rosewood. The Square Shoulder design gives the Hummingbird a strong, powerful look, while the traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing helps the top respond with plenty of volume and character.
The Mahogany neck is topped with a bound Rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius and Mother-of-Pearl Parallelogram inlays. The Dovetail Neck Joint provides the traditional Gibson connection between neck and body, while the 24.75" scale length keeps the strings feeling a little slinky and easy on the fingers.
The Hummingbird Original comes loaded with the LR Baggs VTC system, with soundhole-mounted Volume and Tone controls. It's an excellent-sounding pickup system that's easy to dial in, whether you're plugging into a small acoustic amp, a full PA, or heading straight into the studio.
Gibson Acoustic Guitars are timeless. Their looks have helped shape the vision of countless artists, while their tones have contributed to some of the best recordings in history. From the J-45 to the SJ-200, Advanced Jumbo, and J-185, Gibson acoustics have been in the hands of some of the world's best players. The Hummingbird belongs right there with them.
