Gibson Hummingbird Original, Antique Natural - Secondhand

Full Description

Classic tone with dependable clarity

The combination of a Sitka spruce top and mahogany body gives you a well-rounded acoustic voice with clear highs and a warm low end. This balance makes it easier to sit comfortably in a mix or stand out when playing solo. The square shoulder body shape adds extra projection, helping your playing carry without needing excessive effort. Whether you're strumming chords or picking out melodies, you’ll notice a consistent response across the strings that keeps your playing controlled and expressive.

Built for reliable playability

A rounded mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard offer a familiar, comfortable feel that supports longer playing sessions. The 12-inch radius and standard frets make chord transitions smooth while still giving you enough control for more detailed work. With a bone nut and saddle, tuning stability and string vibration are improved, so notes stay accurate and sustain longer. The compound dovetail neck joint also contributes to a solid connection between neck and body, helping maintain both durability and tonal transfer.

Ready for stage and studio use

Fitted with an LR Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup, this guitar is set up for amplified performance without complicating your setup. The onboard volume and tone controls let you quickly adjust your sound to suit different environments, from small venues to recording sessions. It captures the natural character of the guitar clearly, so what you hear unplugged translates well when amplified. This makes it a practical choice if you regularly switch between acoustic and plugged-in playing.

Detailed design with practical hardware

Gold-plated Gotoh Keystone tuners provide accurate, stable tuning, helping you stay in pitch through rehearsals and performances. The multi-ply binding and gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish add durability while maintaining a traditional look and feel. Small but important details, like Tusq bridge pins and the traditional belly-up bridge, support consistent string performance and easy maintenance. Supplied with a hardshell case and accessory kit, it’s ready to travel and stay protected wherever you take it.
