Description

The Gibson Hummingbird Standard Electro Acoustic in Vintage Sunburst is a true icon of the acoustic world, now updated with the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system for stunningly natural amplified tone. Handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, it pairs a classic square-shoulder design and timeless Hummingbird aesthetics with a warm, responsive voice that is equally at home on stage, in the studio or in your writing space. With its solid Sitka spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, comfortable Round profile neck and premium hardware, this Hummingbird delivers the rich, resonant sound and inspiring playability that have made it a favourite for more than six decades. Whether you are strumming big open chords, picking intricate lines or accompanying your vocals, it offers a beautifully balanced tone and a feel that invites you to keep playing. Iconic Hummingbird Look and Feel From the square-shoulder body shape to the Vintage Sunburst finish and the instantly recognisable Hummingbird pickguard artwork, this guitar exudes classic Gibson style. Multi-ply binding on the top and back, along with single-ply fingerboard binding, frames the body and neck for a refined, high-end appearance. It is a guitar that looks as inspiring on a stand as it feels in your hands. Warm, Dynamic Acoustic Tone A solid Sitka spruce top combined with solid mahogany back and sides and scalloped X-bracing gives the Hummingbird its signature voice. The result is a warm, full-bodied tone with plenty of low-end depth, clear mids and a sweet, singing top end. It responds beautifully to both light fingerstyle and heavy strumming, making it a versatile choice for players who cover a lot of ground stylistically. Comfortable, Player-Focused Neck The mahogany neck is carved to a comfortable Round profile that feels familiar and inviting, whether you are playing first-position chords or exploring the upper frets. A bound rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays adds a touch of vintage class, while the 24.75 inch scale length and 1.725 inch nut width strike a great balance between easy playability and solid string spacing for both picking and strumming. Natural-Sounding Baggs HiFi DNA Electronics The Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system captures the Hummingbird’s acoustic character with impressive realism. Lightweight sensors mounted to the bridge plate, each with its own optimised preamp, deliver a full-range, natural amplified sound that preserves the guitar’s inherent personality. Soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls keep adjustments within easy reach while remaining discreet from the audience’s perspective. Key Features Solid Sitka Spruce and Mahogany Construction – A solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides provides the classic Hummingbird voice, with warmth, depth and a responsive dynamic range that suits everything from gentle fingerpicking to powerful rhythm work. Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup System – The Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system uses dual bridge-plate sensors and dedicated preamps to deliver a natural, full-range amplified tone, preserving the guitar’s acoustic character while offering excellent resistance to feedback. Comfortable Round Profile Neck – A mahogany neck with a Round profile, bound rosewood fingerboard and 24.75 inch scale length offers an inviting, easy-playing feel that works equally well for chord work, lead lines and extended sessions. Premium Hardware and Classic Aesthetics – Grover Rotomatic tuners, TUSQ nut, saddle and bridge pins, a rosewood reverse-belly bridge and multi-ply body binding combine reliable performance with the timeless look of the Vintage Sunburst finish and Hummingbird pickguard.
