GIBSON 2018 HUMMINGBIRD ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC GUITAR
HANDMADE by GIBSON MONTANA – USA
The Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar is one of the most instantly recognisable guitar models on the planet. From its initial release in 1960, the Gibson Hummingbird has gone on to become one of the most evocative and loved acoustic guitars and used by some of the world’s most celebrated musicians and song writers.
Much of the Hummingbird’s appeal lies in its versatility. However you attack this flat-top, it pumps out rich, deep tones, and is equally at home strumming first-position chords as it is taking the spotlight for picking lead lines. Its spacious solid mahogany body and sweet, solid Sitka spruce top are more than capable of nailing down the rhythm in the hands of a rock and roll sideman, or accompanying the most nuanced performance under the fingers of today’s alternative singer-songwriter.
For 2018 Gibson have upped the ante and incorporated an LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system with active volume and tone controls discretely mounted just inside the sound hole.
Whether on-stage, in the studio or simply kicking back at home, the iconic Hummingbird is the stuff that dreams are made of and for those that dare to dream . . . your new Gibson acoustic guitar awaits.
