The Iconic Workhorse, Ready to Rock
There are few acoustic guitars as instantly recognizable as the Gibson Hummingbird. From its iconic pickguard art to its warm, inviting Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish, this guitar is pure Gibson history. This pre-owned 2023 model is in fantastic shape and delivers that legendary tone—a sound that has powered countless hits across rock, country, and folk. It’s not just a guitar; it’s a songwriting partner.
Classic Tonewoods, Timeless Tone
The Hummingbird’s voice is built on a foundation of classic, solid tonewoods. A Sitka spruce top provides the horsepower—giving you a tone that’s crisp, clear, and dynamically responsive to your attack. Paired with mahogany back and sides, the sound mellows into a warm, balanced voice with a rich midrange that’s perfect for sitting with a singer. The traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing lets the top breathe and resonate freely, creating a huge, open sound that fills the room whether you’re strumming hard or fingerpicking softly.
Effortless Playability
A great acoustic should feel like an old friend, and this Hummingbird delivers. The rounded mahogany neck profile is a comfortable handful—substantial enough for chording but still fast enough for intricate lead lines. The 12″ radius rosewood fingerboard is a classic Gibson feel, making bends and vibrato feel smooth and buttery. It’s a neck that just begs to be played for hours on end.
Stage-Ready Electronics
While the Hummingbird is a cannon acoustically, it’s also ready for the stage or studio right out of the box. The factory-installed LR Baggs VTC undersaddle pickup system captures the guitar’s natural acoustic voice with stunning accuracy. The soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls are discreet and intuitive, allowing you to shape your sound on the fly without ruining the guitar’s classic aesthetic. It’s a true plug-and-play professional instrument.
