The Legend, Reborn
There are few guitars as iconic as the Hummingbird. From its debut in 1960, it became an instant classic, finding its way into the hands of legends from Keith Richards to Gram Parsons. Now, Epiphone has brought that legendary vibe to everyone with the Hummingbird Standard EC, a guitar that sings with all the history and tone of the original, but is built for the modern player.
This isn’t just a looker, it’s a serious tone machine. We’re talking an all-solid-wood construction, a feature you rarely find at this price point. A solid Sitka spruce top provides the sparkle and dynamic range, while the solid mahogany back and sides deliver that warm, woody midrange that makes chords sound huge and single notes bloom with character. The gloss finish lets the wood’s natural beauty shine through, both visually and sonically.
Stage-Ready Electronics
Ready to plug in? The onboard Fishman Presys II preamp and S-Core undersaddle pickup system translate the guitar’s rich acoustic voice with stunning clarity. You get a side-mounted control panel with volume, bass, and treble to shape your sound on the fly, plus a phase switch to kill feedback before it starts. There’s even a built-in tuner, so you’re always ready to hit the stage or the studio.
Effortless Playability
The mahogany neck is carved into a comfortable Rounded C profile that feels instantly familiar, perfect for chording or complex lead lines. Combined with the classic 24.75-inch scale length and a smooth rosewood fingerboard, this guitar is pure butter to play. From the iconic split parallelogram inlays to the 60s Kalamazoo headstock, every detail feels just right.
