Item Description

Gibson Epiphone Hummingbird Acoustic Guitar Condition; Good condition- some light wear from use Collection only from Hamilton Store See Photos for more details First introduced in 1960, the Gibson Hummingbird is one of the most distinctive and well-loved acoustic guitars ever made. Handcrafted with care in Bozeman, Montana, by Gibson’s expert acoustic luthiers, the new Gibson Hummingbird Special offers players a USA-built Gibson Hummingbird model at a very attractive price. The Hummingbird Special has a traditional square-shouldered body constructed using genuine solid mahogany for the back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top that is reinforced with Gibson's traditional scalloped X-bracing. This combination of tonewoods delivers a warm, balanced tone with excellent dynamic range that is perfect for any style of music. The “concert depth” body is slightly thinner than the body on a Hummingbird Standard, giving it a leaner and tighter bass response that sits perfectly in the mix and also makes it easier to hold. The utile neck is attached to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint, and like all Gibson acoustic guitars, it is affixed with hot hide glue. The neck has a comfortable Round profile, and the rosewood fretboard has a 12” radius and features pearloid parallelogram inlays, which is one of the visual hallmarks that makes the Hummingbird easily recognizable. The fretboard is fitted with 20 standard frets. The traditional belly-up rosewood bridge is equipped with a TUSQ saddle, and the nut and bridge pins are also TUSQ. High-quality Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability. The pickguard features a simplified version of the world-famous Hummingbird pickguard graphics. This Hummingbird Special is finished in satin nitrocellulose lacquer Vintage Cherry Sunburst. It comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze under-saddle piezo pickup and active preamp with an easily accessible soundhole-mounted volume control, so it’s stage and studio-ready from the moment you take it out of the included premium soft shell case.
