What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
LR Baggs Element VTC pickup Transparent sound with volume and tone controls
Mahogany neck Great sustain, strength, and warm tone
Rosewood fretboard Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel
Sitka spruce top Projects rich, crisp and responsive tone

Much of the Hummingbird's appeal lies in its versatility. However you attack this flat-top, it pumps out rich, deep tones, and is equally at home strumming first-position chords as it is taking the spotlight for flat-picking lead lines. Its spacious mahogany body and sweet, select sitka spruce top are more than capable of nailing down the rhythm in the hands of a rock and roll sideman, or accompanying the most nuanced performance under the fingers of today's alternative singer-songwriter. Upgraded with LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system with Volume, Tone, and Compression for superior natural tone when amplified.

After owning and playing many high end Martin and tayler accustics for years I have always wanted a hummingbird. This guitar by far is the best sounding and playing accustic I have ever played. Low action, big boom and in the low notes , great mid and wonderful high notes. YES it is worth the money! If I had bought a hummingbird years ago I would have less guitars.....this is a go to guitar for sure.
