From Gibson comes the legendary Hummingbird Acoustic-Electric, a guitar whose distinct look is only surpassed by its unmistakable tone. When Gibson introduced the Hummingbird in 1960, the square shoulder body and unique look made it an instant classic, changing the dreadnought landscape for years to come. With its newest iteration, Gibson has expanded on the classic Hummingbird with an array of modern features making this an ideal instrument for players in any genre.

Balanced and Versatile Tone

Through its history, the Hummingbird has always been applauded for its tonal balance and musical versatility, and the newest release absolutely maintains this character. The mahogany back and sides and solid sikta spruce top creates a rich sustain for deep textures and outstanding blending on stage or in the studio. The distinct square shoulder body means a full tone for those lone singer-songwriters, and the classic mahogany snap means the Hummingbird can stand out against the rowdiest jam sessions. From country and bluegrass to folk and rock, the Hummingbird easily lends its sonic excellent to any style.

Classic Instrument, New Improvements

Every new Hummingbird is handcrafted in Gibson's premier acoustic facility in Bozeman, Montana. The classic finish, stylish inlays, and unmistakable pickguard give the Hummingbird its unique flair while Gibson's craftsmanship and commitment to quality make this a guitar that sounds as great as it looks. Not only are the newest Hummingbirds built with the latest advances in quality guitar construction, but they also now include fantastic electronics from LR Baggs, sturdy chrome tuners and stylish double parallelogram inlays, and a custom Gibson case.

Product Description

The Gibson Hummingbird offers an unmatched combination of sound and style. With the broad tone of its square shoulder body and its bold visual statement, the Hummingbird has been one of Gibson's most recognizable guitars for over 40 years. The Hummingbird led the way for an entire family of square shoulder models, and the body style became so popular that it was the only dreadnought shape offered by Gibson in the 1970s. The Hummingbird continues today as the leader of Gibson's prestigous square shoulder line, which ranges from the fancier Dove to the affordable Songwriter series and includes historic signature models. Includes Gibson hardshell case.

"A Dream Come True"
Sound: The Hummingbird is a great sounding guitar like they say, it has a very balanced and well blended sound across the sound spectrem of the dreadnought style guitars!!! I am so pleased with mine,and it's very pretty to look at!!! I own a D-45 Martin and it has more substain and volume and more flashto it, but it's rosewood, and the Hummingbird is Mahogany, so you know it will be different in sound. I also own a Martin HD-28 and it's a fantastic guitar too, but the Hummingbird is my favorite for playing while singing because it has the looks and a great sound with good substain and it blends really well for singing it louder than a Taylor but softer and a little less volume than a martin in other words it's a true win,win guitar for me!!! Feature: Came with a deluxe hard shell case (not the less desireable molded plastic) but the classic kind, padded with a plush blue interior (real sharp)and Gibson embosement on the outside lid top. Manufacturer Support: So for there has been no reason to use support!!!
Style of Music: Southern Gospel and Country & Folk & Bluegrass Gospel

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
