Description

Reviving one of Gibson's most celebrated acoustics, the Gibson Hummingbird Standard EC is a versatile guitar of radiant sounds and luscious aesthetics. Taking cues from Gibson's original Hummingbird model, this Gibson acoustic sings with a familiar voice – light, airy, and primed for performance.

The Hummingbird Standard EC plays with a lush and detailed voice. This voice comes from the single-cutaway Hummingbird EC-shaped body constructed from mahogany and Sitka spruce. Utilizing classic Gibson acoustic tonewoods, the Hummingbird Standard EC offers a vibrant and detailed sonic profile perfect for strumming alongside a full band or fingerpicking as a solo singer-songwriter. The single-cutaway design of the Hummingbird Standard EC provides effortless access to higher frets for exploring the guitar's full 24.75" scale length.

This sonic profile would not be what it is without the seamless playability offered by the Hummingbird's mahogany neck shaped in a Round SlimTaper profile. Connecting with a comfortable grip in hand, this neck invites quick trips up and down the rosewood fingerboard. This rosewood, designed with twenty frets and a TUSQ nut, is a veritable runway for inspired acoustic riffs and licks to fly. Mother-of-Pearl parallelogram fret inlays punctuate the fingerboard for a dazzling set of fret markers. Across its headstock, six Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure smooth and stable stringing.

Deeper considerations made for this Hummingbird include a number of fine specifications to really tie the instrument together and make it exceptional. Multi-ply binding found across the top and back of the body aligns with single-ply fingerboard binding, resulting in a satisfying visual sum. This aesthetic choice is accompanied by Gibson's classic Hummingbird pickguard that radiates onstage. Once on stage, the Hummingbird Standard EC is ready for performance with an L.R. Baggs VTC electronics system with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls. This Hummingbird flies from stage to stage with an included Gibson hardshell case.

As one of Gibson's most famous birds, the Hummingbird is a classic among acoustic guitars. The Hummingbird Standard EC embodies the same artistry and musicality that made the name known for players of all stripes.
