Gibson Hummingbird Standard, Vintage Sunburst Overview
Gibson Hummingbird Standard, Vintage Sunburst
Much of the Hummingbird’s appeal lies in its versatility. No matter how you approach this flat-top, it delivers rich, deep tones that are equally suited for strumming first-position chords or picking lead lines. The spacious mahogany body and select Sitka spruce top make it a reliable choice for nailing down the rhythm in a rock and roll setting or accompanying the most nuanced performances of today’s alternative singer-songwriters.
The Hummingbird features a mahogany neck with a comfortable rounded profile, adorned with mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. It includes a TUSQ nut, saddle, and bridge pins, along with Grover Rotomatic tuners and the iconic Hummingbird graphics on the pickguard. Equipped with LR Baggs VTC electronics, this guitar is stage- and studio-ready. A Gibson hardshell case is also included.
