Gibson Hummingbird Standard - Vintage Sunburst with Hardshell Case
The Gibson Hummingbird Standard: A Legendary Voice for Any Style
Iconic Acoustic Design with Tonal Versatility
The Gibson Hummingbird Standard in Vintage Sunburst delivers the unmistakable warmth, richness, and projection that have defined this model since its debut in 1960. A favorite across genres, its voice is just as at home strumming bold, rhythmic chord patterns as it is delicately picking melodic lead lines. Whether you're a singer-songwriter, session musician, or stage performer, this guitar is built to adapt and excel.
Premium Tonewoods for Superior Sound
This model features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides, a time-honored combination known for its strong projection and unparalleled ability to sit in a mix. The Sitka spruce top adds a sweet clarity and dynamic range, while the mahogany body provides deep, focused lows and a rich, woody midrange. The top and back are dressed in multi-ply binding for added durability and a classic aesthetic that reflects Gibson’s heritage.
Exceptional Feel and Playability
The Hummingbird’s mahogany neck sports a rounded profile for optimal comfort, topped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard adorned with mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. Its 24.75-inch scale length makes for an inviting, slinky feel under the fingers, whether you're playing open chords or exploring higher registers. The dovetail neck joint ensures excellent transfer of vibration between the neck and body, enhancing resonance and sustain.
Stage-Ready Electronics and Hardware
Outfitted with LR Baggs VTC electronics, this guitar is ready to plug in and perform. The discreetly mounted soundhole controls give you quick access to volume and tone adjustments without disrupting the guitar’s clean look. A TUSQ nut and saddle, Grover Rotomatic tuners, and a reverse-belly rosewood bridge ensure excellent intonation, tuning stability, and long-lasting performance reliability.
Crafted for Professionals, Built for Life
From the moment you take it out of its case, this Hummingbird is ready for whatever musical path you put in front of it. The iconic pickguard artwork, flawless finish, and vintage-style burst complete an instrument that honors the legacy of one of Gibson’s most iconic acoustics.
