Gibson - Hummingbird Special Satin Vintage Cherry Sunburst + Housse

It's hard to find anything more iconic than the Gibson Hummingbird. With its instantly recognizable silhouette and openwork X-bracing, in addition to being beautiful to look at, it is a true vector of expression.

The combination of a solid mahogany back and sides and a Sitka spruce top gives it a warm and balanced tone, while offering dynamics that adapt as well to delicate arpeggios as to more assertive attacks. And with its Satin Vintage Cherry Sunburst finish, it doesn't need to force to capture attention.

Compared to a Hummingbird Standard, this Special version adopts a thinner Concert Depth body, which slightly refines the bass response, making the whole thing even more precise and defined. A feature that will please guitarists who appreciate a clear foundation in a mix, but also those who like a guitar that fits naturally under the arm, without sacrificing projection and sustain.

Every manufacturing detail is designed to optimize comfort and playability, starting with a useful neck, sculpted in a Round profile and fixed using a traditional dovetail assembly.

The finishes reflect its prestige: a rosewood fingerboard with a 12-inch radius, set with pearloid parallelogram inlays, and a rosewood Belly-Up bridge equipped with a TUSQ nut and pegs for optimal vibration transmission.

True to Gibson tradition, we find a pickguard adorned with the famous Hummingbird motif, slightly revisited for this special edition. And for those who want to plug it in, its L.R. Baggs Element Bronze system, coupled with a preamp with volume accessible in the soundhole, ensures a natural and precise reproduction of acoustic sound.
