The Legend, Reborn
This isn’t just a tribute; it’s a straight-up time machine. The Epiphone Inspired By Gibson Custom 1960 Hummingbird is a stunning recreation of one of the most iconic acoustic guitars ever made. From the first strum, you get that classic square-shouldered dreadnought voice, full of warmth, depth, and a sweetness that has graced countless records. The all-solid wood construction, featuring a thermally-aged Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides, delivers a level of resonance and harmonic complexity that’s simply inspiring. It’s got the look, the feel, and most importantly, the sound that made the original a legend.
Aged to Perfection
The secret to that vintage tone lies in the wood. Epiphone used a thermally-aged solid Spruce top, a process that replicates decades of natural drying and playing. The result is a top that’s incredibly responsive, with a dry, woody character and a wide-open dynamic range. Paired with solid Mahogany for the back, sides, and neck, you get a powerful, balanced tone that’s perfect for both heavy-handed strumming and delicate fingerpicking. The dovetail neck joint ensures maximum vibration transfer from neck to body, so you feel every note bloom.
Classic Looks, Modern Performance
Every detail is meticulously crafted to honor the 1960 original. You’ll find the iconic Hummingbird pickguard, mother-of-pearl split parallelogram inlays, and the Gibson open-book headstock with an aged mother-of-pearl Gibson crown. But it’s not just about looks. A bone nut and saddle provide pristine string vibration, while the LR Baggs Element Bronze VTC electronics faithfully capture the guitar’s natural acoustic voice for the stage or studio. With soundhole-mounted controls, you can shape your amplified tone without sacrificing the guitar’s vintage aesthetic.
