Product Description

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.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Think of it as a way to get a vintage, ‘played-in’ tone right out of the box. The process removes moisture and crystallizes the resins in the spruce, mimicking decades of natural aging. This makes the top lighter, more resonant, and more responsive, giving you the warm, open sound of a well-loved vintage guitar.

This collaboration means you’re getting key features usually reserved for high-end Gibson models. This includes the authentic Gibson ‘open book’ headstock shape, the high-quality LR Baggs electronics, and premium materials like a bone nut and saddle. It’s the closest you can get to a vintage Gibson Custom Shop instrument at an incredible value.

Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.

This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.

Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.

Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.

Player-Perfect™ Setups

Every guitar we sell is dialed in by seasoned musicians. We obsess over the details—perfect intonation, immaculate fretwork, and ideal action—so your guitar is ready to rip right out of the case. No exceptions.

Advice From Real Players

Call us and you get a fellow musician, not a script. We'll help you compare neck profiles, talk tone, and find the right guitar for you—even if it's not this one. Our reputation is built on honest conversation.
