The key to getting the perfect acoustic sound is using the right combination of materials. So that's exactly what Gibson have done in crafting this Hummingbird. Only the very best tonewoods have been used. With mahogany back and sides, the body will give you warmth and depth - perfect for full-sounding chords. A rosewood fingerboard adds unique richness to your playing, while a sitka spruce top is wonderfully dynamic, sounding equally good across the entire tonal spectrum. From powerful lows to singing highs, anything is possible.
When you've got authentic, textured tone as good as that produced by the Hummingbird, you want to be sure you can retain that sound. Even when you're plugged in. The Hummingbird AG Mahogany has been fitted with a superb LR Baggs Element under-saddle pickup. This will communicate the exact voice of your acoustic guitar without noise interference. So when you're playing through an amp and need loud volume, you needn't worry about your signal being negatively affected.
The Hummingbird may have been around since the sixties. But that doesn't mean Gibson haven't done everything in their power to make this very much a modern guitar. And nowhere is that more evident than in the remarkable playing experience it can provide you with. It's got a mahogany neck, shaped into a special "Advanced Response" profile. This is designed to reduce hand fatigue the longer you play. So you can say goodbye to cramp - you'll be playing on for hours.
You can be certain that the Gibson Hummingbird is crafted to the highest possible standard. It features hand-scalloped X-bracing. X-shaped bracing, applied to the interior surface of the guitar's top, reinforces its structural integrity, ensuring that the instrument is strong and durable. And it's also had Gibson's hand-scalloping process applied to it. By removing part of the brace, the bracing itself becomes lighter, and allows the top to vibrate more when the guitar is played. The result? A bigger sound that'll make sure every note you play gets heard.
The Hummingbird has a rich, illustrious history. It's been the go-to acoustic choice for some of the most legendary guitarists of all time. Radiohead's Thom Yorke. Queen's Brian May. Soundgarden's Chris Cornell. Keith Richards even used one to write some of The Rolling Stones' most iconic tunes, including "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "Wild Horses", and "Brown Sugar", to name but a few. The Hummingbird has well and truly earned its place in music history, famed for its distinctive, flexible sound. Experience a legend.
This really is a top-quality electro acoustic. So make sure it's kept safe, wherever you take it. Gibson have included an incredibly durable hardshell case at no extra cost, which will give you peace of mind when you're on your travels. It's tough and rugged, and will ensure your Hummingbird stays in pristine condition.
