Flying high with a limited-edition Wine Red finish, the Gibson Hummingbird soars as one of the most legendary acoustics of all time. The Gibson Hummingbird Standard puts classic tone, playability, and design into your hands. This guitar features a solid Sitka spruce top for a stunning blend of punchy treble and midrange, held together with a rich low end from the mahogany back and sides — a tonal presentation that has won over countless rock legends from Keith Richards to Thom Yorke. A rounded C-profile neck with a rosewood fingerboard offers impeccable playability and response, ideal for strumming big open first-position chords and picking out intricate leads up and down the neck. Also, an onboard LR Baggs VTC pickup system delivers beautiful amplified acoustic tone when you plug in. The many Hummingbird Standard owners here at Sweetwater can attest this is that rare acoustic that truly offers a unique playing experience along with one-of-a-kind tone.
Once you play a Hummingbird and hear it sing, you’ll understand why this guitar has earned the iconic status it holds. The blend of spruce and mahogany covers low, midrange, and treble in nearly equal parts, a big reason why the Hummingbird Standard is so popular among a variety of players across genres. The Standard sounds excellent strummed wide open with a pick or gently plucked with the fingers, making it a solid choice for country, bluegrass, folk, or rock ’n’ roll. And with its classic square shoulder design and legendary pickguard with instantly recognizable artwork, no one can ignore the visual impact of the Hummingbird!
The Hummingbird Standard comes equipped with LR Baggs's popular Element VTC electronics, which feature a low-profile under-saddle transducer that's proven more stable and durable than many standard ribbon-type pickups. Combined with an onboard preamp with unobtrusive volume control, which is mounted just inside the soundhole, the Element VTC is a tremendous performer. Its sleek and effective design removes unnecessary internal components to enhance the coupling between the pickup and the guitar and improve the sensitivity of the transducer. The result? A robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics and a delicate high end.
