This is a mint example of a unique offering from the Gibson Custom Shop. It's a 2023 flamed maple back and sides Hummingbird. A rare bird indeed! Normally the maple is found on the Gibson Dove model. The difference is that a Hummingbird has a shorter scale length which slightly lowers the string tension making it a bit easier to play. These guitars have been used in thousands of recordings in nearly every genre of music. This is the only one available on Reverb. It is stunning to look at and the fit and finish are superb. It has been kept in a smoke free and humidity managed environment since I bought it. It comes with an LR Baggs Element VTC pickup installed by the factory. I cannot attest to the batter being viable as I have never plugged it in. I only strummed it a few times as it was purchased as a long term investment. It also comes with a D'Addario humidity system which maintains the relative humidity in the case between 45-55% which is considered optimal for acoustic instruments. I am listing it for far less than I paid for it. It comes with all of the case candy as well. The original hardshell case is the best I have ever seen from Gibson. This is a fantastic deal as other custom shop offerings are going for far more and they don't have the rare flamed maple that this instrument has. The maple evens out the tones and has a crisper and cleaner voice than the mahogany version. It sound amazing! And it still smells like nitrocellulose laquer and fresh cut maple!
