No longer available at zZounds
Mahogany back and sides, a spruce top, and square-shouldered dreadnought body all come together to make the Hummingbird a prized acoustic in any collection.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Sitka spruce top Projects rich, crisp and responsive tone
Mahogany back and sides Dry and airy tone; clear, present midrange
Rosewood fretboard Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel
LR Baggs Element VTC pickup Transparent sound with volume and tone controls

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 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.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I ordered this guitar on the 19th of February 2018. I got 2 day free shipping and the guitar arrived at 10:30 a.m. by FedEx on the 2nd day. It was in excellent condition and sounded fantastic. The strings are just a little high for my liking so I need to adjust the truss rod a bit to get them down. I didn't get a free truss rod tool this time. . I guess Gibson figures they might go broke giving away truss rod adjustment tools. Even at zZounds price these guitars are definitely not cheap. At almost $3900 they are a high end high quality guitar. This guitar is a keeper and I will have it 'till I die.
