Introduced in 1960 as the first square-shoulder Gibson acoustic model, the unmistakable Hummingbird™ has become one of the most popular acoustic guitars ever made and the choice of countless players across generations and genres. Much of the Hummingbird's appeal lies in its versatility—it pumps out rich, deep tones whether you're strumming first-position chords or picking lead lines.
The Gibson Hummingbird Standard is handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, with a square-shoulder body of solid mahogany back and sides, topped with solid Sitka spruce reinforced with scalloped X-bracing. Multi-ply binding frames both top and back, finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. The iconic Hummingbird graphics on the pickguard make this model instantly recognizable.
The mahogany neck features a comfortable Round profile, bound rosewood fretboard with 20 standard frets, and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. A compound dovetail neck joint, constructed with hot hide glue, ensures durability. The reverse-belly rosewood bridge, TUSQ® nut, saddle, and bridge pins pair with Grover® Rotomatic® tuners for solid tuning stability.
Now equipped with Gibson's exclusive Baggs™ HiFi DNA™ pickup system, this acoustic delivers full-bodied amplified tone without impacting unamplified sound. Two lightweight sensors on the internal bridge plate work with optimized individual preamps, offering gain-before-feedback comparable to under-saddle pickups. Soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls provide quick, subtle access while playing.
A favourite of performing and recording musicians for over six decades, the Hummingbird arrives stage and studio-ready in a Gibson hardshell case. Available in right and left-handed versions.
