Wow! As soon as the case for this Hummingbird was opened for inspection, The Guitar Store crew was blown away by this work of art's jaw-dropping beauty. Equipped with an articulate and booming voice that we have come to love from an amazing square-shouldered acoustic, this is a guitar you won't put down.

The Final Word in 'Birds

Introduced in 1960 as Gibson's first square-shoulder, the Hummingbird™ arrived at the dawn of a new era in music and was rapidly embraced by the prime movers on the scene. Built with a thermally aged Sitka spruce top, the 1960 Hummingbird reflects the appearance and performance of those early icons. Featuring a fixed bridge, it's finished with Gibson's new Thin Finish, including a hand-rubbed VOS process.
