Epiphone - Hummingbird Studio EC Acoustic Collection Heritage Cherry Sunburst + Housse
With its Hummingbird Studio EC model in Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Epiphone unveils an electro-acoustic folk that exudes woody warmth and neo-vintage charm, ready to take you on mellow arpeggios or muscular strums, with a gloss finish that catches the light like a stage catches your eye. Each curve tells a story crafted to accompany your songs, and this dreadnought Cutaway silhouette reveals a real facility for spinning up to the high notes without breaking the flow, with a feeling that was already calling to your fingers before you even laid your hand on it. When you play it, you'll feel the full, familiar, inspiring vibrations, as if the guitar were whispering that your next melody is just lying there, ready to shine.
Presentation
The C-profile neck and rosewood fingerboard allow for fluid navigation through all positions, making barreling more comfortable and phrasing more natural; the Pearloid Split Parallelogram markers make it easy to find your way around; the 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock has a vintage elegance; and the nickel hardware contributes to reliable tuning so you can concentrate on expression.
On the electro side, Epiphone's Hummingbird Studio EC offers a solution designed for stage and studio. The Fishman S-Core pickup under the saddle captures the natural grain of the soundboard and the Fishman Presys II preamp lets you adjust volume, bass, treble and phase from the side of the body, and the plugged-in reproduction remains faithful to the acoustic character without leaning towards artificial colour, the case supplied makes transporting and protecting the instrument easy, and the Heritage Cherry Sunburst gloss varnish highlights the nuances of the solid spruce top, offering a visual presence consistent with the timbre you get when playing.

To find out more...
To get the most out of your Epiphone Hummingbird Studio EC, consider adding a set of quality phosphor bronze strings, to keep that warm clarity and singing grain over the long term, with a brilliance that stays true to your touch. You could also consider a humidifier to stabilise your wood, because a folk guitar like this vibrates even better when the humidity remains soft and regular. Finally, don't forget to bring along a clean, solid shielded cable, so you can connect your Fishman preamp without buzz or hiss, and enjoy a clear signal on both acoustic amps and consoles, with that reassuring little extra that accompanies every set like a faithful companion.
