With its instantly recognizable square-shoulder silhouette, onboard electronics and added upper-fret access, the Epiphone Hummingbird Standard EC acoustic-electric guitar pairs classic tone with modern performance flexibility. Part of Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson collection, this cutaway Hummingbird draws from the original design while adapting it for players who require extended reach and dependable amplification. An all-solid spruce top combined with solid mahogany back and sides delivers warmth, clarity and projection, while Fishman S-Core electronics with side-mounted controls and an onboard tuner prepare it for stage and studio use. A Rounded C mahogany neck completes a platform built for expressive playing, whether unplugged or amplified.
All-Solid Tonewoods With Cutaway Access
A solid spruce top matched with solid mahogany back and sides produces the balanced low end, articulate mids and open high end associated with the Hummingbird voice. The square-shoulder dreadnought body provides strong projection, while the cutaway allows smoother access to upper frets for lead work and extended voicings. This all-solid construction supports wide dynamic response and continues to open up as the instrument matures.
Rounded C Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard
The mahogany neck features a Rounded C profile that sits comfortably in the hand during extended sessions. A rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets and mother-of-pearl split parallelogram inlays offers smooth playability and clear positional reference. The neck joint reinforces stability and efficient vibration transfer, contributing to a connected and responsive feel.
Fishman Electronics for Reliable Stage Control
A Fishman S-Core under-saddle pickup paired with side-mounted electronics delivers amplified tone that reflects the guitar’s natural acoustic character. Controls for volume, bass, treble, phase and a built-in tuner allow fast, intuitive adjustments in live or studio environments. The streamlined layout keeps amplification practical without distracting from the instrument’s classic appearance.
Signature Hummingbird Details With Dependable Hardware
The redesigned epoxy-style pickguard featuring the signature Hummingbird artwork protects the top while maintaining the model’s iconic visual identity. A belly-up rosewood bridge with a bone saddle supports consistent intonation and sustain, while gold Grover Rotomatic tuners promote smooth, stable tuning. Each detail balances vintage character with modern reliability.
A Heritage Platform Built for Modern Use
For players drawn to the sound and look of a square-shoulder dreadnought but seeking added flexibility for live performance, the Epiphone Hummingbird Standard EC offers a practical solution. As an Inspired by Gibson model, it honors a historic design while incorporating cutaway access, dependable electronics and all-solid construction, complete with a premium gig bag for transport and protection.
