Full Description
View Full DescriptionVersatile signature sound
The Gibson Hummingbird Standard delivers the kind of rich, open voice players reach for during sessions and on stages. A mahogany body paired with a select Sitka spruce top gives you warm lows, a sweet, singing midrange, and plenty of projection for strummed chords or articulate single-note lines. It’s the classic Hummingbird recipe, tuned for balance and depth, and it’s exactly why this model has been a go-to across genres for decades.
Effortless playability
A rounded mahogany neck makes chord work feel relaxed and fluid, while the 24.75" scale and Indian rosewood fingerboard help bends and vibrato feel right under the fingers. Mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays keep the look authentically Gibson, and the compound dovetail neck joint enhances resonance and sustain so notes bloom without extra effort. It’s a neck that feels broken-in on day one and stays comfy throughout long sets.
Plug-in ready reliability
LR Baggs VTC electronics bring a natural, gig-ready sound when you plug in, with discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone so you can tweak on the fly without breaking the vintage vibe. TUSQ nut, saddle, and bridge pins work with Grover Rotomatic tuners to lock in tuning stability and consistent response, letting you focus on the music instead of keeping things in tune.
Iconic style, pro details
The Purple Burst finish sets off the Hummingbird’s signature pickguard artwork, nickel hardware, and crisp 5-ply/3-ply binding for a look that’s equal parts classic and modern. A reverse belly rosewood bridge anchors sustain and intonation, and the guitar ships in a fitted hardshell case so it’s road-safe from day one. It’s a standout instrument that looks as good as it sounds, on stage or in the studio.
