Gibson Hummingbird Original Acoustic Electric Guitar
The Gibson Hummingbird is more than just a guitar; it's a legend. Recognized instantly by its ornate pickguard and rich, honeyed tone, it has been the creative partner for icons from Keith Richards to Taylor Swift. The Hummingbird Original carries on this legacy, blending revered vintage details with flawless craftsmanship.
The Gold Standard for Craftsmanship
From the first strum, you'll know exactly why this guitar is legendary. The Hummingbird produces a sound that is simultaneously powerful and sweet, with the clarity and warmth that have made it one of the most praised acoustic guitars ever built.
Sitka Spruce Top: The solid Sitka spruce top is the heart of the Hummingbird's voice, providing a balanced, articulate tone with incredible dynamic range. It's a tonewood that only gets better with age, meaning your guitar will sound even richer and more complex the more you play it.
Mahogany Back and Sides: Paired with the spruce top, the premium mahogany body generates a full, warm midrange and a punchy low end. This classic wood combination is the secret behind the Hummingbird's famous ability to sit perfectly in a mix, supporting a vocalist without ever overpowering them.
Traditional Scalloped X-Bracing: Hand-scalloped bracing underneath the top allows the wood to vibrate more freely. This time-honored technique enhances projection and resonance, giving the guitar its signature booming voice and rich sustain.
Perfect Feel and Performance
The Hummingbird Original is designed to feel like an old friend right out of the case. Every detail is crafted to provide a comfortable and inspiring playing experience, inviting you to lose track of time while you play.
Round Neck Profile: The comfortable mahogany neck features a "Round" profile that feels substantial and familiar in your hand. It's a classic shape that provides excellent support for chording while still allowing for smooth, easy movement up and down the neck.
Rosewood Fretboard with Rolled Edges: Your fingers will glide effortlessly across the rosewood fretboard. The edges are softly rolled for a broken-in feel, eliminating any sharpness and making even the most complex chords feel more comfortable to play.
Bone Nut and Saddle: These high-quality components are crucial for great tone and sustain. The bone nut and saddle ensure optimal string vibration transfer to the guitar's body, maximizing clarity, volume, and harmonic richness.
Stage-Ready Electronics and Vintage Looks
This Hummingbird isn't just for the studio or the living room. It's equipped with top-tier electronics and iconic appointments, making it ready to command any stage while looking every bit the classic it is.
LR Baggs VTC Element Pickup System: Plug in and play with confidence. The LR Baggs VTC pickup captures the guitar's natural acoustic voice with stunning accuracy. Its low-profile undersaddle design and soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls make it easy to dial in a perfect live sound without compromising the guitar's vintage aesthetic.
Iconic Appointments: The Hummingbird is a visual masterpiece. It features multi-ply binding, distinctive mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays, and, of course, the legendary engraved pickguard that gives the guitar its name.
Gold Gotoh Keystone Tuners: These elegant gold tuners not only add to the guitar's sophisticated look but also provide rock-solid tuning stability, so you can play with passion and precision.
Legacy Status for the Modern Musician
The Gibson Hummingbird Original combines the soul of a vintage classic with modern reliability, creating a guitar ready for a lifetime of playing, writing, and performing.

Outstanding Guitar with an Outstanding Heritage
I’m super happy with this purchase. It has the classic new Gibson smell. High quality build. Only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is the setup from the factory was much too high, sitting perfect on the treble side, but about 3/64ths too high on the bass side. It’s simple for someone who’s fiddled with ...
