Description

The Epiphone Hummingbird™ Studio EC is part of the all-new Epiphone Studio Acoustic Collection. These guitars have been completely reimagined to offer the most authentic and affordable acoustic guitars inspired by iconic Gibson designs. The Hummingbird Studio EC offers a blend of modern functionality and classic design, appealing equally to beginners and seasoned players alike. Based on the iconic Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar, which has been the choice of players across a wide range of musical genres since its introduction in 1960, the Hummingbird Studio EC features a square-shoulder dreadnought body with a cutaway for easier access to the upper frets. The Hummingbird Studio EC delivers a rich, balanced tone with excellent projection, making it an ideal choice for exploring a wide range of musical styles.

The Hummingbird Studio EC features a layered mahogany body with six-ply antique ivory and black binding on the top and four-ply antique ivory and black binding on the back, complemented by a solid spruce top for a responsive, balanced tone with excellent dynamic range that will sound even better as it ages. The mahogany neck is joined to the body with a glued-in tapered dovetail neck-to-body joint and features a Rounded C profile that ensures comfortable playability. The neck is capped with a bound rosewood fretboard equipped with 20 standard frets and adorned with the classic split parallelogram inlays that are one of the hallmarks of the Hummingbird design. The other ends of the strings run over a compensated plastic saddle and anchor to the belly-up rosewood bridge with ivory-colored bridge pins. Other details that give the Hummingbird Studio EC even more vintage-style visual appeal are also included, such as a Hummingbird tortoiseshell-colored pickguard with iconic Hummingbird graphics, high-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuners for precise and stable tuning, and a 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock with the Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown prominently inlaid in mother of pearl.

The Hummingbird Studio EC is equipped with Fishman™ electronics, including an S-Core under-saddle pickup and Fishman Presys II preamp with side-mounted volume, bass, treble, and phase controls. It also has a convenient built-in electronic tuner, making it quick and easy to get tuned up. The Epiphone Hummingbird Studio EC has a gloss finish and is offered in two vintage-inspired colors—Natural and Heritage Cherry Sunburst. Both right and left-handed versions are available. A standard gigbag is also included.

Electro-Acoustic

Electro-acoustic guitars are acoustic instruments fitted with built-in pickups or microphones that allow them to be amplified or connected directly to a PA system or amplifier. They retain the natural acoustic tone and feel of a traditional acoustic guitar while adding the convenience of onboard electronics.

They are commonly used for live performance and recording, especially in situations where consistent volume and clarity are needed. Electro-acoustic guitars often include controls for volume and tone, and sometimes built-in tuners, making them a practical choice for gigging musicians who want an acoustic sound with modern flexibility.

Left-Handed

Left Handed guitars are specifically designed for players who favour their left hand as the fretting hand, offering a comfortable and natural playing experience without compromise. With reversed body shapes, control layouts, and string orientation, these guitars ensure proper balance, playability, and access to all features exactly as intended.

From classic electric designs to acoustic models, left handed guitars are available across a wide range of styles, tones, and price points. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to upgrade, choosing a purpose-built left handed instrument allows you to focus on playing and expression, rather than adapting to a setup that doesn’t suit you.
