It wasn't long before the model made a made for itself, ending up on countless recordings and appearing with artists spanning many musical genres. Today, we are treated to a delightful reinterpretation with this Gibson Custom Shop Hummingbird Elegant Koa. Crafted by the artisans in Bozeman, MT, this Hummingbird delivers an elevated experience from headstock to endpin.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from the finest materials, this square-shoulder dreadnought is constructed from a AAA Sitka spruce top and koa back and sides. Koa is coveted for its looks and tonal properties that naturally shift over time – the more you play, the wood opens up and develops additional warmth. The body is double bound and sports a traditional rosette, Hummingbird pickguard, and a three-roped marquetry strip running down the center of the back. Amplifying its voice, a L.R. Baggs VTC under-saddle Element electronics system sits under the hood and can be accessed by the sound-hole mounted controls. Its sound offers a natural sound, ready for the studio or stage.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eFor its neck, a 24.75-inch scale length mahogany neck is carved to a round profile and affixed to the body in a traditional set-neck fashion. The neck is bound and topped with a 12-inch radius rosewood neck and is crowned with 20 standard frets. The split parallelogram fingerboard inlays and Gibson logo\/Crown emblem on the headstock display are crafted from abalone. Strings are loaded in the belly up rosewood bridge, rest on the saddle\/tusq nut, and are strung to pitch with the Grover Rotomatic tuning machines.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eFinished in a gloss Honey Burst and packed in hardshell case for safe keeping, this Hummingbird Elegant Koa is an inspiring work of art, ready to inspire countless songs and memorable musical moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Highlight --\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibson Custom Shop Artisan Series release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAAA Sitka Spruce top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBound Koa body with three-rope marquetry strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHummingbird pickguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound mahogany set-neck with bound rosewood fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbalone inlays on the fingerboard and headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelly up rosewood bridge and TUSQ nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrover Rotomatic tuning machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL.R.
