Gibson - Hummingbird Standard EC Heritage Cherry Sunburst LH

In 1960, Gibson revolutionised the design of its acoustic guitars with the Hummingbird, its very first model with square shoulders. But its identity is not solely defined by its silhouette: its pickguard, featuring a hummingbird, quickly became a true visual signature. The Hummingbird then went down in rock history, with the Rolling Stones – notably Keith Richards and Brian Jones – using it to compose. Its design remains surprisingly versatile: Gibson emphasises that it can switch effortlessly from delicate fingerpicking to powerful strumming or melodic lines.

- The solid Sitka spruce top is paired with a solid mahogany back and sides.

- The Hummingbird EC cutaway provides easier access to the upper frets.

- The mahogany neck features a Rounded SlimTaper profile and a rosewood fingerboard.

- The split parallelogram mother-of-pearl inlays echo a historic visual feature of the model.

- The L.R. Baggs VTC pickup system prepares the guitar for amplified playing.
