Introduced in 1960, the Hummingbird was the first dreadnaught acoustic produced by Gibson. With its rich tone, easy playability and eye-catching hummingbird engraved pickguard, these acoustics were an instant success.

The body, measuring in at 16.25″ in width, has a sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides. The mahogany provides a deep bass tone that mixes well with the the mellow, slow response of the sitka spruce top. The top is light but extremely strong with a radius to add tension and strength, resulting in a “speaker cone” effect adding a boost to the mid range for a well-balanced tone. Hand-scalloped bracing focuses the natural acoustic sound toward the center of the body, enhancing sound projection.

The dovetail neck joint provides a tight, locking connection — allowing the body and neck to become one solid piece of resonating wood. The Madagascar rosewood fingerboard has a rolled edge that is slightly beveled for a smooth feel.

These guitars are well balanced and have a smooth and easy feel to them. They sound, look and feel great, what more can I say ….
