One of the most iconic guitars ever built, the Gibson Hummingbird Original is the latest version of this classic instrument, blending vintage appointments with high quality, modern construction methods.
The Hummingbird Original features solid mahogany back and sides coupled with a Sitka Spruce top. This classic pairing of tone-woods delivers a rich, full bodied tone synonymous with classic Gibson dreadnoughts. The body is coupled with a solid mahogany neck that features Gibson's comfortable rounded profile. The neck is capped with a bound Rosewood fretboard that is fitted with 20 standard frets and inlaid with split parallelogram position markers.
Electrics come courtesy of an LR Baggs VTC pickup coupled with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls. This high quality system not only delivers the full-bodied acoustic sound of the guitar when plugged in, but is also very discrete so as not to disturb the Hummingbirds classic visual lines.
Hardware comprises a set of gold Gotoh keystone tuners, a set of Tusq bridge pins, a traditional Hummingbird engraved truss rod cover and a classic Hummingbird pickguard.
