The Gibson Hummingbird is one of the most legendary and instantly recognisable acoustic guitars ever produced - a square-shoulder dreadnought first introduced in 1960 that has graced the hands of some of the most celebrated guitarists in the history of popular music and earned a reputation for exceptional versatility that is unmatched among its peers. Equally at home delivering first-position rhythm chords with warm, powerful authority or soaring lead lines with clarity and sustain, the Hummingbird Standard Rosewood takes this iconic platform and elevates it with East Indian rosewood back and sides in place of the traditional mahogany, adding slightly fuller bass response and greater overtone complexity while preserving everything that has made the Hummingbird's square-shoulder voice so beloved across rock, country, folk, and beyond.

The solid Sitka spruce top with traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing delivers the Hummingbird's broad, powerful, and dynamically responsive acoustic voice, while the gloss nitrocellulose lacquer Rosewood Burst finish glows warmly across the body and allows the tonewoods to breathe, resonate freely, and age beautifully over time. The mahogany neck with rounded profile, compound dovetail neck joint bonded with hot hide glue, bound rosewood fingerboard, and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays reflect the classic Hummingbird aesthetic appointments in their full traditional glory, while gold Grover Rotomatic tuners, TUSQ nut, saddle, and bridge pins, belly-up rosewood bridge, and the iconic Hummingbird engraved pickguard complete a specification of unmistakable visual identity. The L.R. Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup and preamp system with soundhole-mounted controls makes this Hummingbird stage and studio-ready from the moment it leaves the case.

Features

• Solid Sitka spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides and traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing delivers the Hummingbird's broad, powerful, and dynamically versatile square-shoulder voice with the added fullness of bass response and overtone complexity that rosewood uniquely provides.
• Gloss nitrocellulose Rosewood Burst finish allows the tonewoods to resonate freely, breathe, and age beautifully over time - contributing to the natural, open acoustic character that distinguishes a nitro-finished instrument from a poly-coated alternative.
• L.R. Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup and preamp system with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls delivers warm, natural amplified acoustic tone without the piezo harshness that plagues lesser acoustic-electric systems.
• Mahogany neck with rounded profile, compound dovetail neck joint bonded with hot hide glue, bound rosewood fingerboard, and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays deliver the comfortable playing feel and resonant tonal coupling of authentic Gibson acoustic construction.
• Gold Grover Rotomatic tuners, iconic Hummingbird engraved pickguard, TUSQ nut, saddle, and bridge pins, and belly-up rosewood bridge reflect the complete, period-correct Hummingbird aesthetic appointment package in its most classic expression.
