Overview
Since its introduction in 1960, the Hummingbird has been one of Gibson's most enduring models. This Hummingbird Ebony limited edition features a beautiful opaque black finish.
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 out first-position chords as it is taking the spotlight for flatpicking lead-lines further up the neck.
Appealing to contemporary fans of the original, the Hummingbird Ebony is dressed for rock n' roll. Ships with a Certificate of Authenticity. Available in March 2015.
