Iconic Hummingbird tone with modern reliability
There is a reason the Gibson Hummingbird has been on so many classic records. That square shoulder body, spruce and mahogany recipe, and light hand scalloped bracing give you a big, warm voice that still has clarity and cut. This Original Antique Natural hits that sweet spot between vintage vibe and rock solid modern build.
Sitka spruce and mahogany for that classic Gibson thump
The Sitka spruce top gives you plenty of shimmer and headroom, while the mahogany back and sides add woody mids and a focused low end that never gets boomy. Traditional hand scalloped X-bracing lets the top move freely, so chords bloom and single notes jump out with a touch of grit when you dig in.
Because it is a square shoulder Hummingbird, the sound is wide and open, perfect for supporting a vocal or holding its own in a mix with other instruments.
Gloss nitro finish and vintage inspired details
The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Antique Natural looks classy now and will only get better as it ages. Nitro lets the body resonate more freely than thick poly, so you feel the guitar come alive against your chest.
Multi-ply binding on the top and back, the classic Hummingbird pickguard, and gold Gotoh Keystone tuners pull the whole look together. Bone nut and saddle, plus Tusq bridge pins, keep the tone clear and the feel responsive under your right hand.
Rounded neck that feels broken in on day one
The mahogany neck has a comfortable rounded profile that fills your hand without ever getting in the way. It is the kind of carve that disappears when you start playing, whether you are grabbing big cowboy chords or stretching for more complex voicings.
A rosewood fingerboard with a 12 inch radius and 20 standard frets gives you smooth bends and clean barre chords across the neck. Mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays keep the vintage vibe alive while helping you stay oriented on dark stages.
LR Baggs VTC – stage ready and studio friendly
LR Baggs VTC electronics make this Hummingbird a serious plug in and play tool. The under saddle pickup captures the natural warmth and air of the guitar without getting quacky or harsh, so your strumming translates beautifully through a PA or acoustic amp.
Simple volume and tone controls let you shape your sound on the fly without a wall of knobs messing with the top. It records great straight into an interface too, which is a big win if you are laying down tracks at home.
