Description

It's hard to think of acoustic guitars without an image of a Gibson Hummingbird Standard coming to mind instantaneously. The iconic square shoulder flat-top has been a favorite of guitarists of all types for over sixty years, and its well revered reputation is not going anywhere.

Its Sitka Spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides provides plenty of volume for heavier, rhythmic strumming. And if you're looking to dial back your intensity of playing, this guitar's dynamic response allows for even the softest notes to ring out like echoing cathedral bells.

The rounded mahogany neck profile feels comfortable as can be in your palm whether in the first position or playing leads at the 12th fret. An Indian Rosewood fingerboard is home to magnificent Mother of Pearl Parallelogram inlays that compliment the Hummingbird graphics decorating the pickguard. Packed with LR Baggs VTC Element electronics, this Bird is ready for plugged-in-performance, but feel free to keep it all to yourself at home or mic'd up in the studio.
