The Distinctive Hummingbird
The Hummingbird's enduring appeal comes from its remarkable versatility. Whether played with a light touch or a more aggressive attack, this flat-top delivers rich, resonant tones and performs equally well with open-position chords or melodic lead lines. Its generous mahogany body and carefully selected Sitka spruce top provide a strong, balanced foundation — well suited to everything from driving rock-and-roll rhythms to the subtle, expressive playing of today's singer-songwriters. The Hummingbird features a comfortable rounded mahogany neck with classic mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. Additional appointments include a TUSQ® nut, saddle, and bridge pins, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, and the iconic Hummingbird™ pickguard graphics. LR Baggs® VTC electronics provide reliable amplified performance, making it equally at home, on stage, or in the studio. A Gibson hardshell case is included.
