This 2024 Hummingbird is Pre-owned but in excellent condition. Full disclosure, this guitar is marked as a demo but for superficial finish flaws only - Nothing structural whatsoever. It was purchased from Gibson Demo shop on Reverb. I have had many of these guitars and they are truly wonderful guitars (and I have never been disappointed) at an affordable price (vs retail). It’s been played sparingly, sadly, as my shoulder doesn’t like a full body guitars any more.
The front strap button was relocated from the heel of the neck to the nape of the neck for better positioning (see pics).
From the moment the Hummingbird first took flight in 1960, it forever changed Gibson history. Its spotlight-stealing aesthetic, full-bodied voice, and square-shouldered design were crafted to appeal to country and folk players of the era, yet the model truly soared with the rise of rock in the mid-1960s. Today, the Gibson Acoustic Hummingbird Original preserves the iconic design's vintage soul in a modern design. A classic pairing of a Sitka spruce top with mahogany back and sides gives the Hummingbird Original a broad, balanced response — extending lows and highs beyond the signature midrange thump of a classic Gibson. Its mahogany round C-profile neck and smooth Indian rosewood fingerboard provide effortless playability, whether you’re digging into bold flatpicking runs or intricate fingerstyle passages. Built-in Baggs VTC electronics ensure the guitar’s natural acoustic character translates authentically to the stage. Finishing touches include the Hummingbird’s signature split parallelogram inlays, elegant fingerboard binding, and the exquisitely engraved pickguard that has made the model an icon for generations. A guitar built to inspire for a lifetime, the Gibson Hummingbird Original delivers legendary tone and timeless style.
