The Gibson Hummingbird Standard 'Vintage Cherry Sunburst' Acoustic Electric Guitar is one of the most iconic acoustics of all time, renowned for its timeless design, exceptional tone, and unmatched playability. Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top, this guitar delivers a remarkable blend of punchy treble and midrange, perfectly balanced with the rich low end from its solid mahogany back and sides. This tonal balance has made the Hummingbird a favorite of legendary rock musicians such as Keith Richards and Thom Yorke. A rounded C-profile neck with a rosewood fingerboard provides a comfortable, smooth playing experience, ideal for both intricate picking and strumming. The onboard LR Baggs VTC pickup system ensures your acoustic tone is beautifully amplified when plugged in, making this guitar an excellent choice for both stage and studio performance.
Visually, the Gibson Hummingbird Standard stands out with its square-shoulder dreadnought body and stunning Vintage Cherry Sunburst finish, while its tonal versatility makes it a go-to for country, bluegrass, folk, and rock. Whether you're playing wide-open strummed chords or intricate fingerpicking, the Hummingbird delivers a sound that works beautifully across genres. Thanks to its solid construction and premium materials, this guitar's tone continues to improve with age, providing years of rich, expressive sound.
