DESCRIPTION
Much of the Hummingbird's appeal lies in its versatility. No matter how you approach this legendary flat-top, it produces rich, deep tones and is equally at home strumming first-position chords as it is taking center stage for picking lead lines — a range that has made it the choice of musical legends across genres. The Hummingbird Standard Faded continues that legacy of excellent tone and outstanding playability, now wrapped in a beautiful faded Heritage Cherry Sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer finish that gives it the unmistakable vibe of a long-cherished musical companion.
The square-shoulder 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. Internally, the top is reinforced with Gibson's traditional scalloped X-bracing, which contributes to the Hummingbird's responsive tone and wide dynamic range.
Up top, the mahogany neck carries a comfortable Round profile and a bound rosewood fretboard with 20 standard frets and mother of pearl split parallelogram inlays — one of the visual hallmarks of the Hummingbird design, alongside the instantly recognizable Hummingbird pickguard. The neck is fitted to the body with a compound dovetail joint for outstanding resonance and sustain, and the low-friction TUSQ nut paired with Grover Rotomatic tuners keeps tuning solid so you spend more time playing.
This 'bird also arrives pre-equipped with high-quality, great-sounding L.R. Baggs VTC electronics. The soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls sit right where the player can reach them while staying all but invisible to the audience, so it's ready for plug-and-play use on stage or in the studio the moment you lift it out of the included hardshell case.
