Epiphone Hummingbird Standard - Cherry Sunburst

The Hummingbird is perhaps one of the most recognizable acoustic guitars ever to grace a stage, and for good reason. At Palen Music Center, we are thrilled to offer this Epiphone version that captures the heart and soul of the legendary "square-shouldered" dreadnought. This guitar is built with a solid Sitka Spruce top, a wood prized for its "velocity of sound" and a responsiveness that helps your playing project clearly even at high volume levels. It’s the kind of top that only gets better with age, gaining complexity as it breaks in over years of Sunday morning strumming and late-night songwriting sessions.

Paired with the Spruce is a Mahogany body, providing a warm, focused voice that is essentially the industry standard for balanced acoustic tone. This combination creates a "sweet" sound with a fundamental-strong character that doesn't get muddled by excessive overtones. Whether you are channeling the rock 'n' roll spirit of Keith Richards or the folk-pop sensibilities of Sheryl Crow—both famous devotees of the Hummingbird style—this instrument delivers the punchy midrange and crisp trebles required to cut through a mix or support a solo vocal performance.
