Gibson 1960 Hummingbird Fixed Bridge - Heritage Cherry Sunburst Acoustic Guitar With Case

The Final Word in 'Birds

Introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s first square-shoulder, the Hummingbird arrived at the dawn of a new era in music, and was rapidly embraced by the prime movers on the scene.

Built with a Thermally Aged Sitka spruce top, the 1960 Hummingbird reflects the appearance and performance of those early icons. Featuring a fixed bridge, it's finished with Gibson's new Thin Finish, including a hand-rubbed VOS process.  Simply put, this is a striking guitar.

The mahogany body provides a warmth that will please the soul, offering a round, bass-rich tone.  The Sitka spruce top brings the top end to life, with a brightness to help cut through.  The end result is guitar that is balanced across the tonal spectrum, and suitable for a variety of styles.  While most often associated with strumming, this Hummingbird will also sound great picked and plucked.  

The mahogany neck has a round profile for a vintage feel, and is very comfortable to play.  It's topped with a beuatiful rosewood fretboard enhanced by the mother of pearl parrallelogram inlays, which add to the visual appeal.

Of course, it features the classic Hummingbird pickguard, the calling card of this iconic guitar.  Other features include Gotoh Keystone tuners, a bone nut and of course a premium hardshell case.

Experience the magic of playing a vintage acoustic guitar that's actually new.  This instrument offers the same inspiring tone as the iconic 60's era Hummingbird.  While we carry the full array of Hummingbirds here, this is our favorite version.  This guitar is a must-have for any true music connoisseur.
