Hummingbird Special Satin Vintage Sunburst
First introduced in 1960, the Gibson Hummingbird is one of the most distinctive and beloved 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-made Gibson Hummingbird model at a very attractive price. The Hummingbird Special features a traditional square-shoulder body, constructed from solid mahogany for the back and sides, and a solid Sitka spruce top, reinforced by our traditional scalloped X-bracing. This wood combination delivers a warm and balanced tone with excellent dynamic range, perfect for all music styles. The “concert depth” body is slightly thinner than that of a Standard Hummingbird, providing a tighter, more focused bass response that fits perfectly in the mix and also makes it easier to hold. The neck is set into the body with a dovetail joint and, as with all Gibson acoustic guitars, it is hot glued. The neck has a comfortable rounded profile, and the rosewood fingerboard has a 12-inch radius and features pearloid parallelogram inlays, one of the visual hallmarks that make the Hummingbird easily recognizable. The fingerboard is equipped with 20 standard frets. The traditional rosewood bridge is fitted with a TUSQ® nut, and both 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 famous Hummingbird pickguard graphic. The Hummingbird Special is finished in a satin nitrocellulose lacquer in Satin Vintage Cherry Sunburst and Satin Wine Red colors. It is equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze piezo pickup under the bridge and an active preamp with an easily accessible volume control mounted in the soundhole, making it stage- and studio-ready as soon as you take it out of the included premium soft case.
