Epiphone 1960 Hummingbird Reissue Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Heritage Cherry Sunburst

One of the brand's finest feathered friends, we have the Epiphone 1960 Hummingbird Reissue. Following in the example of Gibson's Hummingbird acoustic guitar, first released in 1960, today's 1960 Hummingbird Reissue hits all the staple design specs and sonic characteristics that made the original so beloved. Epiphone's fine eye for translating a classic into something authentic yet very much their own shows itself across this entire acoustic.

Arriving at the dawn of the singer-songwriter wave of the 1960s, Gibson's Hummingbird was quickly adopted into the cultural fold. The model's square-shoulder dreadnought design exceled in producing a playing experience conducive to the smooth fingerpicking and bright strumming of the day. Today's Inspired by Gibson Custom Epiphone 1960 Hummingbird Reissue begins with that same square-shoulder dreadnought design. Thermally aged solid spruce serves as the guitar's top, welcoming in some simulated sonic age, thanks to the careful heat treatment to which the top is subjected. A solid mahogany back and sides matches the aged spruce and acts as a solid sonic base.

Within, the 1960 Hummingbird Reissue features a traditional scalloped X-Brace bracing pattern with quartersawn solid spruce braces. This addition gives the Hummingbird that light, airy, and balanced tone you've come to know from the model historically. A one-piece, thermally aged mahogany neck in a Rounded profile reaches out from the square-shoulder body welcoming on a bound Indian rosewood fingerboard. This board, bearing twenty frets on its 24.75" scale length, facilitates easy fretting and a classic Hummingbird visual element – Mother of Pearl split parallelogram fret inlays.

Smaller considerations brought to this Hummingbird that elevate the whole guitar include a bone nut and Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines. Working to reinforce the playing experience, these features keep the experience rolling. Additionally, this Hummingbird comes to life with an onboard L.R. Baggs Element Bronze VTC electronics system that allows the sweet sounds of this acoustic to be brought to the stage. This 1960 Hummingbird Reissue wouldn't be what it is though without its Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish and Gibson Hummingbird pickguard. A Red Line-inspired hardshell case comes included with this Hummingbird adorned with Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics.

One of the brand's most beloved models, the Epiphone 1960 Hummingbird Reissue still proves that this bird still has a song to sing all these years later.
