Construction
Gibson have stuck with the classic pairing of a mahogany back and sides and Sitka spruce top, know for their rich, all-encompassing character when combined for dreadnought body acoustics. You’ll get beautiful warmth from the mahogany, with the spruce adding crisp projection.
50s Neck Profile
The Hummingbird has a ’50s style rounded neck profile, which gives you plenty to anchor down when fretting the Indian Rosewood fingerboard. The 24.75-inch scale length gives the Hummingbird Standard a snappy sweetness and responsiveness and makes it a little faster in transition across the fretboard.
Electronics
The Hummingbird comes loaded with the award-winning LR Baggs VTC soundhole pickup system, lauded for its ability to re-produce the voicing of a studio mic’d acoustic. You’ll have stunning projection and accuracy, further adding to this guitar’s incredible versatility.
