Description
The Gibson Hummingbird Standard Left-handed in Southwestern Turquoise is a stunning take on one of the most iconic acoustics ever made, now optimised for modern performance with the Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. Handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, it delivers the classic, warm Hummingbird voice with exceptional clarity when plugged in, making it a trusted companion for left-handed players on stage, in the studio, or at home. First introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s first square-shoulder acoustic, the Hummingbird has long been prized for its rich, resonant tone and bold visual identity. This Standard model keeps that heritage alive with a solid Sitka spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and traditional scalloped X-bracing, all wrapped in a gloss nitrocellulose finish and detailed multi-ply binding. The result is a guitar that looks as inspiring as it sounds, with the added flair of the eye-catching Southwestern Turquoise finish. Playability is every bit as refined as the tone. A comfortable Round-profile mahogany neck with a bound rosewood fingerboard, mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays and a classic 24.75 inch scale length makes for an inviting feel, whether you are strumming big open chords or picking intricate lines. Reliable hardware, including Grover Rotomatic tuners and TUSQ nut, saddle and bridge pins, ensures stable tuning and consistent performance night after night. For live use, the Baggs HiFi DNA system brings out the Hummingbird’s natural acoustic character with impressive gain-before-feedback and a full-range, organic sound. Discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls let you shape your amplified tone quickly and intuitively, without compromising the guitar’s timeless aesthetic. For left-handed players seeking a world-class electro acoustic with decades of musical history behind it, the Hummingbird Standard in Southwestern Turquoise is a compelling choice. Iconic Hummingbird Tone and Heritage With its square-shoulder body, solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the Hummingbird Standard delivers the warm, balanced and responsive voice that has made this model a favourite for more than 60 years. From powerful rhythm work to delicate fingerstyle, it offers a rich midrange, clear highs and supportive low end that sit beautifully in a mix. Left-handed Comfort and Playability Designed specifically for left-handed players, this Hummingbird features a comfortable Round-profile mahogany neck and a bound rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets. The 24.75 inch scale length and 1.725 inch nut width provide a familiar Gibson feel that makes extended playing sessions easy, whether you are a songwriter, performer or recording artist. Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup System The Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system uses a pair of lightweight sensors on the bridge plate, each with its own optimised preamp, to capture a natural and detailed amplified sound. It preserves the guitar’s unplugged character while offering feedback resistance comparable to an under-saddle pickup, with discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls for quick onstage adjustments. Premium Build and Distinctive Aesthetics Handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, this Hummingbird combines traditional construction techniques, such as a compound dovetail neck joint with hot hide glue, with premium materials including TUSQ nut, saddle and bridge pins, and Grover Rotomatic tuners. Multi-ply body binding, gloss nitrocellulose lacquer and the classic Hummingbird pickguard artwork are complemented by the striking Southwestern Turquoise finish for a truly standout stage presence. Key Features Solid Sitka Spruce Top with Mahogany Back and Sides – The time-tested combination of Sitka spruce and mahogany, supported by scalloped X-bracing, delivers a warm, dynamic and articulate tone that responds beautifully to both light fingerpicking and hard strumming.
