Gibson Hummingbird Standard - Purple Burst

Much of the Hummingbird’s appeal lies in its versatility. No matter how 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. This versatility has made it the choice of musical legends across genres.

Its spacious mahogany body and sweet, select 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. The Hummingbird's mahogany neck has a comfortable, Rounded profile and is adorned with classic mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. It is fitted to the body with a compound dovetail neck joint for outstanding resonance and sustain. This 'bird has a TUSQ® nut, saddle, and bridge pins.

The low-friction TUSQ nut, along with the Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, ensures solid tuning stability, so you can spend more time playing and less time tuning. The Hummingbird Standard also sports the iconic Hummingbird™ graphics on the pickguard, and is equipped with L.R. Baggs® VTC electronics, so it's ready to plug in on stage or in the studio, from the moment you take it out of the included hardshell case.
