Epiphone 1960 Hummingbird Reissue Left Handed, Heritage Cherry Sunburst Overview

The Epiphone 1960 Hummingbird Reissue Left Handed recreates one of the most iconic square-shouldered acoustics ever made, faithfully capturing the character of the first-year Hummingbirds. With its thermally aged solid spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, this model delivers the unmistakably warm and balanced tone players associate with early ’60s acoustics. Whether you’re fingerpicking gently, strumming full chords or digging into melodic leads, the Hummingbird responds with clarity and musical richness across the entire range.

The one-piece thermally aged mahogany neck features a comfortable Rounded profile and an Indian rosewood fingerboard adorned with split parallelogram inlays, offering a smooth and familiar feel for left-handed players. Traditional multi-ply binding, the engraved Hummingbird pickguard, and gold Epiphone Deluxe tuners round out the vintage aesthetic. Modern performance needs are met with the L.R. Baggs Element Bronze VTC undersaddle pickup, complete with discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls. Supplied with an Inspired by Gibson Custom Red Line hardshell case, this left-handed reissue delivers heritage looks, classic sound and dependable stage-ready versatility.

Faithful vintage construction

This reissue closely mirrors the build of the original 1960 Hummingbird, using a thermally aged solid spruce top to replicate decades of natural ageing. The back and sides are carved from solid mahogany, providing a warm low end and a woody midrange that suits a wide range of playing styles. Traditional scalloped X-bracing made from quarter-sawn spruce ensures excellent projection while maintaining the guitar’s classic dynamic feel.

Comfortable left-handed playability

The one-piece mahogany neck is also thermally aged and shaped to a Rounded profile that feels instantly familiar. Its 24.75-inch scale promotes a relaxed, easy-playing tension, while the bound Indian rosewood fingerboard hosts 20 frets and striking mother-of-pearl split parallelogram inlays. These details make the guitar feel premium in the hand and provide an authentically vintage aesthetic true to the earliest Hummingbirds.

Iconic Hummingbird detailing

From the multi-ply body binding to the engraved Hummingbird pickguard artwork, this model includes every appointment that made the original so distinctive. The traditional belly-up rosewood bridge features a compensated bone saddle for dependable intonation, with a matching bone nut and bridge pins completing the premium hardware package. Gold-plated Epiphone Deluxe tuners with green Keystone buttons ensure steady tuning while emphasising the guitar’s timeless styling.

Stage-ready electronics

To meet modern gigging and recording needs, the 1960 Hummingbird Reissue comes equipped with the L.R. Baggs Element Bronze VTC pickup system. Its discreet soundhole-mounted controls allow subtle adjustments without detracting from the vintage look. The pickup delivers a natural and articulate amplified tone that captures the warmth and detail of the guitar’s acoustic voice, making it ideal for studio sessions, live shows and singer-songwriter performance scenarios.
