Description

The Gibson Hummingbird Special Satin Vintage Sunburst is a Mahogany from the brand Gibson that gives plenty, a solid weapon in any arsenal. The Gibson Hummingbird Special is a fresh take on one of Gibsons most iconic acoustic guitars. Handcrafted in Bozeman Montana it features a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides delivering a warm balanced tone with impressive dynamic range. The concert depth body is slightly thinner than the standard Hummingbird making it more comfortable to hold while tightening up the bass response. Designed for performance it comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze under-saddle pickup and a discreet soundhole-mounted volume control. The round-profile utile neck rosewood fretboard and traditional belly-up bridge offer smooth playability while Grover Rotomatic tuners provide reliable tuning stability. Finished in satin nitrocellulose with a simplified Hummingbird pickguard this guitar blends vintage character with modern practicality.
