Iconic Hummingbird Voice Without Vintage Headaches
The original 1960 Hummingbird showed up right as rock, country, and folk were exploding, and it has been on a ridiculous number of records ever since. This Epiphone Inspired by Gibson 1960 Hummingbird Reissue gives you that same warm, blooming square shoulder tone in a brand new, stage ready package.
Thermally aged solid spruce on top of solid mahogany means it already feels and sounds like a well played in guitar. Strum it hard, fingerpick gently, or dig into single note runs and it keeps its balance and sweetness without getting muddy or harsh.
Thermally Aged Spruce Top, All Solid Wood Construction
The heart of the sound is the thermally aged solid spruce top over solid mahogany back and sides. That torrefied top behaves like old wood, so the note jumps out fast, then blooms into a rich, harmonically complex sustain.
Traditional scalloped X bracing in quarter sawn spruce keeps it loud, focused, and responsive. You get that classic Hummingbird thing where big open chords sound huge and three note voicings still stay clear and defined.
Rounded Mahogany Neck That Feels Like Home
The one piece thermally aged mahogany neck has a rounded profile that fills your hand without ever feeling like a baseball bat. It is the kind of carve that makes long sets and long sessions feel easy, not like work.
The 24.75 inch scale and 12 inch Indian rosewood fingerboard keep string tension comfortable, so bends feel buttery and chords fall under your fingers naturally. Twenty standard frets with a bound board and split parallelogram inlays nail the vintage Hummingbird look while staying smooth and buzz free up and down the neck.
LR Baggs Element Bronze VTC: Plug In And Go
This is not an afterthought pickup. The LR Baggs Element Bronze VTC system captures the woody, air moving character of the guitar instead of that thin, quacky piezo thing we all hate. It stays warm and articulate whether you are running into a PA, an acoustic amp, or a recording interface.
Volume and tone controls are tucked up at the soundhole where you can reach them quickly on stage without a row of knobs drilled into the side. The 1/4 inch endpin jack keeps everything clean and secure, so you can just plug in and get to the song.
Vintage Correct Details, Player Ready Build
From the classic Hummingbird pickguard artwork to the multi ply binding and belly up rosewood bridge, this is built to scratch that vintage itch. Bone nut, bone saddle, and bone bridge pins help the strings couple to the top efficiently for better resonance and tuning stability.
The Gibson style open book headstock with aged mother of pearl Epiphone logo and Gibson crown, plus gold Epiphone Deluxe tuners with green keystone buttons, seal the deal visually and keep tuning rock solid. Real talk, it looks like something you would be nervous to gig, but it is built to work.
Moore Guitars Setup, Case, And Peace Of Mind
This 1960 Hummingbird Reissue comes with a Red Line inspired hardshell case with Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics and even a leather strap adapter, so you are covered from couch to stage. Photos are of the actual guitar, so what you see is what shows up at your door.
