Overview

One of the most popular acoustics ever made with a tonewood combination you can count on and the reliability of an L.R.Baggs pickup system.

A guitar at the leading edge of the acoustic folk boom of the late ’50s and ’60s, the Hummingbird was also at the forefront of an entirely new breed of flat-top dreadnought for Gibson. Introduced in 1960 by a company long famous for its “round-shouldered” dreadnoughts such as the J-45 and Southern Jumbo, this big, 16-1/4 in. wide-shouldered dreadnought hit the competition straight on, and became an instant classic in the process. This 2018 Hummingbird Pro pairs the tried-and-true combination of Sitka spruce for the top with mahogany for the body and neck, all with a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Other features include a rosewood fingerboard adorned with parallelogram inlays, nickel Grover Rotomatic tuners, and bone nut and saddle. When you need to plug in, the onboard L.R. Baggs Element undersaddle pickup system uses a flexible film sensor that'll give you incredible dynamic range.

Includes a hardshell case.

Features

  • Single action truss rod
  • Parallelogram fingerboard inlays
  • Traditional belly up bridge
  • 16 in. fingerboard radius
  • Made in the USA

The Hummingbird is always a classic, no matter which version you buy.
