Gibson Hummingbird Standard, Vintage Sunburst Overview
Much of the Hummingbird’s appeal lies in its versatility. No matter how you attack this flat-top, it pumps out rich, deep tones, and is equally at home strumming first-position chords as it is taking the spotlight for picking lead lines. Its spacious mahogany body and sweet, select Sitka spruce top are more than capable of nailing down the rhythm in the hands of a rock and roll sideman or accompanying the most nuanced performance under the fingers of today’s alternative singer-songwriter. The Hummingbird's mahogany neck has a comfortable rounded profile and mother of pearl parallelogram inlays. This 'bird has a TUSQ nut, saddle, and bridge pins, Grover Rotomatic tuners, the iconic Hummingbird graphics on the pickguard, and is equipped with LR Baggs VTC electronics, so it's ready to plug in on stage or in the studio. A Gibson hardshell case is included.
