Gibson Hummingbird Standard Vintage Sunburst With Case
The Distinctive Hummingbird
A Gibson Hummingbird is a sight to be seen, and one of the most recognizable acoustics ever made. It's legendary in its own right, on a pedestal by itself. The new Hummingbird Standard bring the classic look, sound and feel to players that crave authenticity and beauty. There's a reason why it's inconic.
Its spacious mahogany body and sweet, select Sitka spruce top are more than capable of nailing down the rhythm in the hands of a rock and roll sideman or accompanying the most nuanced performance under the fingers of today’s alternative singer-songwriter. The Hummingbird's mahogany neck has a comfortable rounded profile and mother of pearl parallelogram inlays. And, of course, the classic pickguard tells you exactly what it is without saying a word.
Much of the Hummingbird’s appeal lies in its versatility. No matter how you attack this flat-top, it pumps out rich, deep tones, and is equally at home strumming first-position chords as it is taking the spotlight for picking lead lines.
This 'bird has a TUSQ® nut, saddle, and bridge pins, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, the iconic Hummingbird™ graphics on the pickguard, and is equipped with LR Baggs® VTC electronics, so it's ready to plug in on stage or in the studio. A Gibson hardshell case is included.
