Get ready to make some noise with one of the most unmistakable acoustic guitars in rock and roll history! The Gibson Hummingbird Standard in Vintage Cherry Sunburst brings together timeless 1960s aesthetic charm and modern playing comfort. Built with solid mahogany back and sides paired with a select solid Sitka spruce top, this square-shoulder dreadnought delivers a beautifully balanced, versatile acoustic voice. Sitka spruce tops are renowned for their incredible stiffness-to-weight ratio, giving you a bright, punchy attack and massive projection. When combined with the warm, fundamental-heavy midrange of mahogany back and sides, the result is a sweet, singing acoustic tone that sits flawlessly in any mix whether you're flatpicking energetic rhythms or fingerpicking delicate ballads.

Equipped with a comfortable rounded mahogany neck profile, smooth Indian rosewood fretboard, and classic mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays, this iconic 'bird feels every bit as legendary as it looks. It’s no surprise that music royalty like Keith Richards, Gram Parsons, and Sheryl Crow have relied on the Hummingbird’s rich resonance to write history. Whether you are unplugged on the porch or using the built-in LR Baggs VTC pickup system on stage, this flagship acoustic captures every nuance of your performance with breathtaking detail and warmth.
