About this listing
The Hummingbird™ is one of the most instantly recognizable and remarkable acoustic guitars ever built. First released by Gibson in 1960, it was their first square shoulder acoustic dreadnought model. The stylish and versatile Hummingbird was quickly and enthusiastically embraced by numerous musicians across a wide range of genres. Now, Epiphone is proud to introduce a newly updated Hummingbird Standard as part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection, which delivers high-quality versions of classic Gibson models at accessible prices.
The Hummingbird Standard is crafted using all solid tonewoods, so the tone will continue to improve as the guitar ages. The back and sides of the body are made of solid mahogany, while the top is crafted from solid spruce, for the classic tonewood recipe that has made the sound of the Hummingbird iconic. The neck is also made from one piece of solid mahogany, and is now equipped with a genuine rosewood fretboard with 20 standard frets and classy-looking mother-of-pearl split parallelogram inlays, one of the visual hallmarks of the classic Hummingbird design. The neck has a comfortable Rounded C profile and is glued to the body and attached with a tapered dovetail joint. The 60s Kalamazoo headstock is adorned with the Epiphone logo and Gibson crown inlaid in mother-of-pearl and equipped with a bone nut and high-quality Epiphone Deluxe tuners with a gold finish and Keystone buttons, ensuring solid, stable tuning. Other classic Hummingbird features include an epoxy-style tortoise Hummingbird pickguard with iconic graphics, a reverse belly rosewood bridge with a bone saddle and ivory plastic bridge pins, and a beautiful Cherry sunburst finish.
The Hummingbird Standard comes with Fishman™ electronics, including an S-Core under-saddle pickup and Fishman Presys VT preamp with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls that are fast and easy to access for the player while remaining nearly invisible to the audience. It comes packaged in an Epiphone premium gig bag to help keep it safe, and for easy grab-and-go transport to wherever your music takes you.
