Gibson Hummingbird Standard Acoustic Electric Guitar – Vintage Cherry Sunburst

The Distinctive Hummingbird – The Gibson Hummingbird Standard Acoustic Electric Guitar in Vintage Cherry Sunburst

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. 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. 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.
