Gibson Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC Acoustic-Electric Guitar (with Case)

The Gibson Hummingbird is known for its versatility. It has always been equally well suited for strumming first-position chords and taking the spotlight for picking lead lines. The Hummingbird has become more versatile and expressive than ever with the introduction of the Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC. The Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC's rosewood body, paired with the Sitka spruce top, adds a bit more bass and harmonic complexity to the legendary Hummingbird tonal recipe.

Like all Hummingbirds, it's more than capable of holding 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. With the addition of the cutaway on the Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC, access to the upper frets is significantly increased, making this Hummingbird a great choice for lead players and others who require increased note range and enhanced expressiveness.

The Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC features a solid rosewood body paired with a solid Sitka spruce top, delivering a rich, powerful voice with additional bass response and harmonic complexity. The square-shoulder body is reinforced with traditional construction and features multi-ply binding on the top and back.

The mahogany neck has a comfortable Round SlimTaper profile and is attached to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint using hot hide glue. The rosewood fingerboard features 20 standard frets and distinctive mother-of-pearl… read more parallelogram inlays. A TUSQ nut, saddle, and bridge pins, along with Grover Rotomatic tuners, provide smooth performance and dependable tuning stability.

The Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC features the iconic Hummingbird graphics on the pickguard and a traditional belly-up rosewood bridge, completing the instantly recognizable look of this legendary Gibson acoustic.

The Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC is fitted with the Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. This active design utilizes two lightweight sensors mounted to the internal bridge plate, each paired with its own optimized preamp. The result is a natural, full-bodied amplified tone that faithfully represents the Hummingbird's inherent character without altering its unplugged voice.

The Baggs HiFi DNA system offers impressive gain-before-feedback compared to an under-saddle pickup. Discreet soundhole-mounted controls allow quick, intuitive adjustments on the fly while remaining virtually unseen by the audience. With its rosewood body, expressive cutaway design, iconic Hummingbird styling, new Baggs HiFi DNA electronics, and included hardshell case, the Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC is ready for both stage and studio use from the moment it's picked up.
