Overview

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.

Features:

- 2016 engraved truss rod cover
- Fingerboard edge is softened to comfortably fit the contour of the player's hand

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.
