The Distinctive Hummingbird
The Hummingbird was first introduced in 1960 and was the first square-shoulder acoustic model from Gibson. Since its introduction, it has become one of the most popular acoustic guitars ever made and has been the choice of countless players across generations and genres. Much of the Hummingbird’s appeal lies in its versatility. No matter how you attack this flat-top, it pumps out rich, deep tones and is equally at home strumming first-position chords as it is taking the spotlight for picking lead lines.
The Hummingbird Standard is more than capable of nailing down the rhythm in the hands of a rock ’n’ roll sideman or accompanying the most nuanced performance under the fingers of today’s alternative singer-songwriter.
The Gibson Hummingbird Standard is handcrafted with care in Bozeman, Montana, by Gibson’s expert acoustic luthiers and features a square-shoulder body crafted using solid mahogany for the back and sides. The top is solid Sitka spruce and is reinforced with scalloped X-bracing. Both the top and back are framed with multi-ply binding.
The Hummingbird Standard’s mahogany neck is attached to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint using hot hide glue and features a comfortable Rounded profile. The neck is equipped with a bound rosewood fretboard with 20 standard frets and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. The reverse-belly bridge is also crafted from rosewood. This ’bird has a TUSQ nut, saddle, and bridge pins.
The smooth, self-lubricating TUSQ nut, in partnership with high-quality Grover Rotomatic tuners, ensures solid tuning stability. The Hummingbird Standard features the iconic Hummingbird graphics on the pickguard, which is one of the design elements that have made this model instantly recognizable, even to many non-guitarists.
The Hummingbird Standard is now fitted with the all-new Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. This active design utilizes two lightweight sensors mounted to the internal bridge plate, each paired with its own optimized preamp. The result is a natural, full-bodied amplified tone that faithfully represents the Hummingbird’s inherent character without altering its unplugged voice.
The Baggs HiFi DNA system offers impressive gain-before-feedback compared to an under-saddle pickup. Discreet soundhole-mounted controls allow quick, intuitive adjustments on the fly while remaining virtually unseen by the audience. The inclusion of high-quality electronics means the Hummingbird Standard is stage and studio-ready from the moment you take it out of the included hardshell case. The Hummingbird Standard is available in both right- and left-handed versions. Isn’t it time you discovered for yourself why so many players love the Hummingbird? Pick one up today and see what this long-cherished model can do for you and your music.
