Product Description

A Legend in a Stunning Finish

The Gibson Hummingbird is an icon, plain and simple. From the moment it was introduced in 1960, its square-shouldered dreadnought body became a staple for legends in rock, folk, and country. This pre-owned Hummingbird Standard, dressed in a gorgeous Wine Red gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, carries that legacy forward. It’s an absolute cannon of a guitar, with a voice that’s both powerful and sweet, ready for the stage, studio, or your favorite armchair.

Classic Tonewoods, Timeless Tone

The heart of the Hummingbird’s sound comes from its classic pairing of a solid Sitka Spruce top with solid Mahogany back and sides. This combination delivers a beautifully balanced tone, with the spruce providing clarity and articulation, while the mahogany brings warmth, richness, and a strong midrange presence. Whether you’re strumming big, open chords or picking out delicate melodies, this guitar has a dynamic range that responds to every nuance of your playing. The traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing ensures that the top resonates freely, creating a huge, open sound that just blooms.

Effortless Playability

A great acoustic should feel like an old friend, and this Hummingbird delivers. The Mahogany neck has a comfortable Rounded profile that feels substantial and familiar in your hand, perfect for long playing sessions. The smooth Indian Rosewood fingerboard, with its 12-inch radius and iconic Mother of Pearl Parallelogram inlays, makes for buttery-smooth fretting and bending. It’s a neck that invites you to explore, from cowboy chords down low to intricate lead lines up high.

Ready for the Stage

This Hummingbird isn’t just a stellar acoustic; it’s a professional-grade stage instrument. It comes factory-equipped with an LR Baggs VTC undersaddle pickup and preamp system. The controls are discreetly mounted in the soundhole, preserving the guitar’s classic look while giving you easy access to volume and tone shaping. The VTC system is renowned for its ability to translate the guitar’s natural acoustic voice with warmth and accuracy, ensuring you sound just as good plugged in as you do unplugged.

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.

The square-shoulder design, a Gibson hallmark, contributes to the Hummingbird’s powerful, balanced tone. It provides a robust low end and a clear, present midrange that’s fantastic for strumming and vocal accompaniment, giving it a slightly different flavor than a more common round-shoulder dreadnought.
Absolutely. The LR Baggs VTC is a top-tier pickup system favored by many professional musicians. It’s known for its natural, warm sound that accurately reflects the guitar’s true acoustic tone, without the harsh, ‘quacky’ sound of some older piezo systems. It’s reliable, simple to use, and sounds fantastic through a PA system.
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 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. 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.
