With a real focus on quality and affordability, these guitars deliver classic Gibson tones at a super consumer friendly price point. Every Acoustic Special instrument is crafted with solid tonewoods and feature a stunning satin nitrocellulose finish that breathes, ages gracefully, and lets the guitar really sing!
First introduced in 1960, the Gibson Hummingbird is one of the most distinctive and well-loved acoustic guitars ever made. The all-new Hummingbird Special builds on this rich history, and brings the magic of this iconic model to the masses.
The Hummingbird Special features a traditional square-shouldered body crafted from solid Mahogany and solid Sitka Spruce. The classic scalloped X-bracing design allows the top to vibrate freely, resulting in a powerful tone. This combination of tonewoods delivers a warm, balanced tone with excellent dynamic range that is perfect for any style of music. The concert depth body is slightly thinner than the body on a Hummingbird Standard, giving it a leaner and tighter bass response that sits perfectly in the mix and also makes it easier to hold.
The Utile neck is attached to the body with a compound dovetail joint and is affixed with hot hide glue, which ensures great stability no matter the situation. The neck has a comfortable feeling Round profile, which allows for quick, fast movements. The Rosewood fretboard has a 12 radius, 20 frets, a 24.75 scale length, a 43.815mm nut width, and pearloid parallelogram inlays, which is one of the visual hallmarks that makes the Hummingbird easily recognisable.
High-quality Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure excellent tuning stability, theyll never let you down. This guitar is also equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze active under-saddle piezo pickup and active preamp with an easy-to-access soundhole-mounted volume control, so its stage and studio-ready at a moments notice. Other features include a belly-up rosewood bridge, and TUSQ saddle, nut, and bridge pins
