The Gibson Hummingbird is absolutely one of them. Since its introduction in 1960, the Hummingbird has become one of the most recognizable acoustic guitars ever made, and this Hummingbird Standard is the real deal: a square-shoulder Gibson built in Bozeman, Montana, with a solid Sitka spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, scalloped X-bracing, and that unmistakable Vintage Sunburst finish. It's a beautiful guitar, but more importantly, it's a great-sounding one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hummingbird was Gibson's first square-shoulder acoustic, and it quickly established a personality all its own. It's got the big body and substantial projection you'd expect from a dreadnought, but the mahogany construction gives it a particularly warm, woody character with a strong midrange that makes chords sound full without becoming muddy. It's equally comfortable pounding out big open-position chords or settling into more delicate fingerpicked work. That's a big part of why the Hummingbird has remained such a favorite with singer-songwriters, recording musicians, and players who simply want an acoustic that sounds like an acoustic guitar should sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is built from solid Sitka spruce on top and solid mahogany for the back and sides, with scalloped X-bracing underneath the top. Gibson finishes the whole thing in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, and the Vintage Sunburst is about as classic as it gets. The multi-ply top and back binding, rosewood bridge, and iconic Hummingbird pickguard give this guitar the unmistakable look that has made the model famous for more than six decades. And yes, the pickguard really is one of the reasons you can spot a Hummingbird from fifty feet away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mahogany neck has Gibson's comfortable Rounded profile and joins the body using a compound dovetail joint assembled with hot hide glue. The bound rosewood fingerboard has a 12\" radius, 20 standard frets, and the mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays that are another signature Hummingbird detail. The 24.75\" scale and 1.73\" nut width give it a familiar Gibson feel, while the TUSQ nut and saddle and Grover Rotomatic tuners help keep everything stable and dependable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is also an acoustic you can actually take to the stage without having to figure out the electronics situation afterward. Gibson equips the Hummingbird Standard with an L.R. Baggs VTC system, using an under-saddle piezo pickup with an active preamp and conveniently hidden volume and tone controls at the edge of the soundhole. Plug it in and you're ready to go, while the controls remain almost invisible from the audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hummingbird has earned its reputation the old-fashioned way: by making a great sound for a very long time. This Standard gives you the classic Gibson combination of spruce and mahogany, the iconic looks, comfortable playability, and dependable stage-ready electronics—all in one of the most recognizable acoustic guitar designs ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd honestly, sometimes you don't need to reinvent anything. Sometimes you just need a really good Hummingbird.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGibson\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHummingbird Standard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVintage Sunburst Finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSquare Shoulder Body\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSolid Sitka Spruce Top\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSolid Mahogany Back \u0026amp; Sides\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScalloped X-Bracing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMahogany Neck - Compound Dovetail Joint w\/Hot Hide Glue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRounded Neck Profile\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIndian Rosewood Fingerboard - Bound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20 x Standard Frets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24.75\" Scale Length\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNut Width: 1.73\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMother-of-Pearl Parallelogram Fingerboard Inlays\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTUSQ Nut\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBridge: Reverse Belly Rosewood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTUSQ Saddle \u0026amp; Bridge Pins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eL.R.
