A few notes about this Gibson Hummingbird Studio Rosewood from the Moore Guitars staff:
Before we get into the nuances of this particular guitar, let's get an overall, holistic view of this instrument. Dreadnought body shapes are known to offer volume and power, but there still needs to be the proper balance! Don't lose tone for the sake of greater volume! This Hummingbird model utilizes modified square shoulders which enhances note clarity and balances dynamics. Without this, it would be a Herculean task to amplify, mic, or even control the balance of "tone-vs.-volume". A square-shouldered body shape can help focus lows, and control "muddiness" that can sometimes creep into a "round shouldered" body cavity. (Remember that the body shape of an acoustic guitar is it's "speaker cabinet"! In "electric world" there is a huge difference between a 1-12, 2-10, 4-10, and 4-12 cabs! The same holds true on acoustic guitars!)
Two very important factors that can sometimes get overlooked: 1) this guitar features the original Hummingbird’s slightly deeper body depth for fuller sound and additional sustain; and 2) The scale length of this guitar is 24.75" (normally acoustic guitars are 25.5"). This is the same scale length as an electric Gibson Les Paul! What that means to you is an entirely different string "feel". The tension of the string "at pitch" is entirely different and provides an amazing tactile playing experience. L.R. Baggs™ Element Bronze active under-saddle piezo pickup, satin nitrocellulose finish, and a Gibson Hard Shell Case just add to the value of this wonderful instrument!
Some notes per Gibson:
The updated Hummingbird Studio Rosewood is hand-built using all solid tonewoods and is equipped with an Advanced Response profile utile neck for smooth, easy playability. It features a full-depth body for enhanced tonal response and a satin nitrocellulose finish, giving it the look and feel of a long-treasured musical companion. Available in Satin Natural and Satin Rosewood Burst finishes (including a left-handed model), the Hummingbird Studio Rosewood has an L.R. Baggs™ Element Bronze active under-saddle piezo pickup for easy studio-quality plug-and-play anywhere. Packaged in an included hardshell case for portability, this is the Hummingbird you’ve been waiting for!
