With the Epiphone Hummingbird Deluxe EC Autumn Burst, the US manufacturer is bringing a true classic back to the stage in a modern guise in collaboration with Gibson. Inspired by the legendary Gibson Hummingbird of the 1960s, this square-shoulder dreadnought acoustic guitar combines the myth of this model with contemporary features and innovative technology. The all-solid body delivers a tonal depth and resonance that is second to none, while the handling is made easier by the cutaway comfort thanks to the cutaway. For maximum flexibility in live or studio use, a sophisticated pickup which transmits the acoustic character of the guitar in great detail and nuance. The overall package is rounded off by the characteristic design and an exciting colour scheme, which also make this guitar an absolute visual highlight. To ensure that style, sound and protection go together perfectly, a matching gigbag is already included in the scope of delivery.

As a square shoulder Dreadnought acoustic guitar, the model offers a powerful sound foundation with plenty of volume, a broad frequency spectrum and remarkable projection. However, the heart of the sound is the solid top made of torrefied spruce. Thanks to the special heating process, the wood gains maturity and stability and develops a full, mature tone with brilliant trebles and finely nuanced dynamics right from the start. The solid rosewood back and sides bring additional depth, warmth and definition to the sound, resulting in a balanced, rich sound with strong Bass and crystal-clear trebles.

With its shortened scale length of 628.7 mm and the new cutaway design, the guitar sits comfortably in the hand and allows a relaxed grip right up to the highest frets, even with fast chord changes, sensitive fingerstyle or expressive solos. The mahogany neck in an ergonomic Rounded-C profile also offers a natural feel and a secure grip across all positions, while the elegant ebony fingerboard guarantees a smooth playing surface with a precise feel. The compensated bone bridge inlay also contributes to the excellent playability: It ensures clean intonation and optimum string action so that every note sounds clear and perfectly in tune.

With the L. R. Baggs Element Bronze VTC, this acoustic guitar is ideally equipped for professional demands in live use and in the studio. This pickup impresses with its detailed and nuanced output of the acoustic sound, which retains every subtlety and expression of the playing. The controls for volume and tone are discreetly integrated into the sound hole, allowing quick sound adjustment without changing the classic appearance of the guitar. This system offers the perfect combination of transparent sound transmission, intuitive operation and understated design.

The eye-catching Autumn Burst finish in high-gloss lacquer creates a warm, autumnal depth and makes the instrument a real eye-catcher on any stage. The iconic Hummingbird pickguard, artistically designed with floral elements and the legendary hummingbird, not only gives the guitar recognition value but also a piece of music history. The design is complemented by a shimmering abalone rosette and fingerboard inlays in the mother-of-pearl split parallelogram style, which set glamorous accents and continue the high-quality appearance down to the smallest detail.
