About This Gibson Hummingbird Acoustic Guitar
1960 Hummingbird Fixed Bridge - Heritage Cherry Sunburst - The Final Word in 'Birds
First introduced in 1960, it was Gibson’s first square-shoulder acoustic guitar.
The Gibson Hummingbird arrived at the dawn of a new era in music, and was rapidly embraced by the prime movers on the scene.
This Custom Historic model is built with a Thermally Aged Sitka spruce top. The 1960 Hummingbird reflects the appearance and performance of those early icons.
It featurs a fixed bridge and is finished with Gibson's new Thin Finish, including the hand-rubbed VOS process.
