A legendary square-shouldered acoustic with rosewood warmth and amplified versatility.
The iconic Gibson Hummingbird Standard Rosewood acoustic-electric guitar lets you craft a sound as versatile and nuanced as your playing style. Its solid mahogany back and sides provide a warm, balanced tone with clear, ringing highs, allowing complex chords and melodic lead lines to ring through. The solid Sitka spruce top enhances projection and articulation, emitting each note with shimmering clarity. Together, these premium tonewoods give the Hummingbird a voice as lyrical as the bird it's named for.
Play with Ease Thanks to a Comfortable Neck
The Hummingbird's mahogany neck has a rounded profile for seamless transitions up and down the fingerboard. Its rosewood fingerboard offers smooth playability, while parallelogram inlays provide an elegant visual accent. A 24.75" scale length and 1.725" nut width strike a perfect balance for most playing styles. Whether strumming open chords or executing intricate solos, this neck design keeps you comfortable through long sessions.
Iconic Square-Shouldered Design
The Gibson Hummingbird's square-shouldered dreadnought body shape has remained largely unchanged since its 1960 introduction, establishing it as an acoustic icon. Its timeless aesthetics are enhanced by period-correct details like the split diamond headstock inlay, multi-ply binding and the Hummingbird motif on the pickguard. The tonewood combination of Sitka spruce and rosewood provides a balanced sound with shimmering highs, a tight low end and rich overtones that have inspired artists for generations.
