{"product_id":"gibson-hummingbird-standard-ec-heritage-cherry-burst-left-handed","title":"Gibson Hummingbird Standard EC - Heritage Cherry Burst - Left Handed","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst introduced in 1960 as Gibson's inaugural square-shoulder acoustic, the iconic Hummingbird™ has earned its place among the most beloved acoustic guitars ever produced. The Hummingbird Standard EC builds on that legacy with a cutaway design that provides easier access to the upper frets, paired with Gibson's exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA™ pickup system that faithfully captures the instrument's distinctive tonal character when amplified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hummingbird Standard EC combines a solid Sitka spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides. Scalloped X-bracing shapes its responsive voice, while multi-ply binding accents the classic body design. This construction delivers warmth and clarity whether driving rhythm in rock or supporting dynamic expression in singer-songwriter settings. A gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish completes the timeless appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cutaway design expands access to higher frets, making this model especially appealing to lead players seeking greater expressive range. A mahogany neck with comfortable SlimTaper™ profile pairs with a bound rosewood fretboard featuring a 12-inch radius, 20 frets, and mother-of-pearl split parallelogram inlays. A rosewood belly-up bridge with TUSQ® saddle, bone nut, and Grover® Rotomatic® tuners ensure dependable performance. The distinctive tortoiseshell-coloured pickguard showcases the renowned Hummingbird graphics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system uses two lightweight sensors mounted to the bridge plate with dedicated, optimized preamps. This delivers a rich amplified sound that accurately reflects the instrument's natural character without affecting its unplugged voice, while providing gain-before-feedback performance comparable to under-saddle pickups. Convenient soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls remain discreetly positioned during play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEqually prepared for stage or studio, the Hummingbird Standard EC ships in a hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003eShape: Hummingbird EC (Cutaway)\u003cbr\u003eBack\/Sides: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eTop: Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Multi-ply Top and Back, Single Ply Fretboard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eProfile: Round SlimTaper\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: TUSQ\u003cbr\u003eInlay: Mother-of-pearl Parallelograms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHardware\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Belly-up\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Grover Rotomatic\u003cbr\u003ePlating: Nickel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics\u003cbr\u003eAcoustic Pickup: Baggs HiFi DNA\u003cbr\u003eControls: 1 Volume, 1 Tone\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67896915394802,"sku":"BM711106246048","price":7499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6363\/5698\/files\/MCSSHBECHFHCSL_1.png?v=1793062740","url":"https:\/\/www.bettermusic.com.au\/products\/gibson-hummingbird-standard-ec-heritage-cherry-burst-left-handed","provider":"Better Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
