Description

The Gibson Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC Electro Acoustic in Rosewood Burst takes the legendary square-shouldered Hummingbird design and adds a cutaway, rich rosewood back and sides, and Gibson’s exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. The result is a beautifully voiced, stage-ready acoustic that delivers classic Hummingbird character with enhanced low-end depth, superb playability and a natural amplified sound that stays true to the guitar’s acoustic voice. With its Sitka spruce top, rosewood body and traditional scalloped X-bracing, this Hummingbird offers a powerful, balanced tone that works just as well for bold strummed accompaniment as it does for delicate fingerstyle. The comfortable SlimTaper mahogany neck and cutaway body make upper-fret exploration effortless, while premium hardware and timeless Hummingbird appointments complete a highly versatile instrument that feels instantly inspiring in your hands. Iconic Hummingbird Tone with Added Rosewood Depth At the heart of the Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC is a classic tonewood pairing of Sitka spruce and rosewood. The spruce top provides clarity, articulation and dynamic headroom, while the rosewood back and sides add enhanced bass response and complex overtones. Together with traditional scalloped X-bracing, this combination delivers the familiar Hummingbird balance across the frequency range, but with extra low-end warmth and harmonic richness that suits modern acoustic styles as much as vintage-inspired songwriting. Cutaway Design for Confident Upper-Fret Access The EC cutaway body shape gives you far easier access to the upper frets than a traditional non-cutaway Hummingbird. Whether you are adding melodic fills high up the neck, playing extended chord voicings or taking full acoustic solos, the cutaway design lets you reach the upper register comfortably and cleanly. It makes this Hummingbird particularly appealing for contemporary players who want the classic look and sound, but with the freedom to explore the entire fretboard. Comfortable SlimTaper Neck and Elegant Playability A mahogany neck with Gibson’s Round SlimTaper profile offers a fast, comfortable feel that suits a wide range of hand sizes and playing styles. The bound rosewood fingerboard with a 12-inch radius and 20 standard frets feels smooth under the fingers, while mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays provide classic Gibson elegance. The compound dovetail neck joint, secured with hot hide glue, ensures a solid, resonant connection between neck and body for excellent sustain and responsiveness. Natural-Sounding Baggs HiFi DNA Electronics Equipped with Gibson’s exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system, this Hummingbird is ready to shine on stage or in the studio. Two lightweight sensors mounted to the internal bridge plate each feed their own optimised preamp, capturing a rich, natural amplified tone that reflects the guitar’s true acoustic character. The design avoids interfering with the unplugged sound while offering gain-before-feedback performance comparable to traditional under-saddle pickups. Discreet volume and tone controls inside the soundhole let you fine-tune your sound without spoiling the guitar’s classic aesthetic. Premium Hardware and Classic Hummingbird Details Every detail of the Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC is geared towards stability, reliability and timeless style. A rosewood belly-up bridge is fitted with a TUSQ saddle and TUSQ bridge pins for consistent tone and intonation, while a matching TUSQ nut and gold Grover Rotomatic tuners provide smooth, secure tuning performance. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish highlights the beauty of the Rosewood Burst and darker tonewoods, and the iconic tortoiseshell-style pickguard with Hummingbird artwork and mother-of-pearl Gibson headstock logo and crown complete the unmistakable look.
