Brand NEW guitar. Authorized Dealer!

A legendary acoustic icon: Gibson Hummingbird Original Heritage Cherry Sunburst now available

The Gibson Hummingbird Original stands as one of the most recognizable acoustic guitars ever produced. Now available in our store in the classic Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish, this legendary instrument continues the tradition that began in the early 1960s.

The Hummingbird quickly became a favorite among musicians thanks to its unique appearance, warm tone and unmistakable character. Today, the Hummingbird Original combines vintage Gibson design elements with modern high-quality construction, making it a perfect instrument for both studio and stage.

● The iconic Hummingbird body design

One of the most recognizable features of this guitar is its Square Shoulder Hummingbird body shape.

The body is built using Mahogany for the back and sides, paired with a Sitka Spruce top — one of the most respected tonewoods for acoustic guitars due to its excellent resonance and dynamic response.

This tonewood combination delivers:

• deep and rich bass response

• warm and full midrange

• smooth and articulate highs

Inside the body, Gibson uses traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing, which enhances resonance and improves the guitar’s dynamic sensitivity.

The instrument is finished with Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer, a classic Gibson finish that allows the wood to resonate freely.

▲ Classic mahogany Gibson neck

The neck is made from Mahogany and features a comfortable Rounded profile, ideal for both rhythm and lead playing.

It is attached to the body using the traditional Compound Dovetail neck joint, ensuring maximum resonance transfer and structural stability.

The 24.75" (628.65 mm) scale length provides comfortable string tension and a smooth playing feel.

● Rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays

The fingerboard is crafted from Rosewood, a tonewood known for its warm and balanced sound characteristics.

It features 20 standard frets and elegant Mother-of-Pearl Parallelogram inlays, a classic Gibson design element.

The 12" radius fingerboard ensures comfortable playability across the entire neck.

▲ LR Baggs VTC electronics for stage performance

The guitar is equipped with the highly respected LR Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup system.

This system provides:

• natural acoustic tone reproduction

• excellent dynamic response

• minimal interference with the instrument’s resonance

The guitar includes Volume and Tone controls, allowing quick sound adjustments when plugged into an amplifier or PA system.

● Premium hardware and vintage details

The Hummingbird Original features carefully selected premium hardware that enhances its vintage appeal.

The guitar includes:

• Gold Gotoh Keystone tuners

• Bone nut and saddle

• Double antiqued body binding

• Traditional Hummingbird truss rod cover

The iconic Hummingbird pickguard remains one of the most recognizable design elements of this legendary guitar.

The instrument comes with a Gibson Hardshell Case and a Gibson Accessory Kit.
