Since its debut in the 1960s, the Gibson Hummingbird Standard Vintage Cherry Sunburst has been captivating musicians with its iconic design and versatile sound. This short-scale, square-shoulder dreadnought acoustic guitar remains a favorite among singer-songwriters and fingerstyle players alike, thanks to its warm midrange tone, comfortable playability, and timeless visual appeal. Central to its charm is the signature Hummingbird pickguard, richly decorated with a hummingbird and floral motifs. A deluxe hardshell case is included for secure transport and storage.
Built with a fully solid wood construction, the Hummingbird offers a tone that is rich, defined, and responsive. A solid Sitka spruce top, known for its tonal brilliance and dynamic overtones, sits atop a solid mahogany back and sides, which add warmth, body, and strong midrange projection. Thanks to flat scalloped X-bracing, the top resonates freely, allowing for fast sound development and a well-balanced tone across the frequency spectrum. This makes the Hummingbird equally adept at fingerpicking and strumming, easily filling a room with its commanding presence. Whether used in solo performance or as a vocal accompaniment, this guitar delivers an expressive and balanced sonic foundation.
Beyond its rich tone, the Hummingbird Standard also stands out for its superb comfort and playability. The mahogany neck with its rounded profile offers a natural, familiar grip, while the rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface that supports fast runs, clean chord transitions, and extended sessions without fatigue. Its shortened 628 mm (24.75") scale length significantly reduces string tension, making it easier to fret notes and chords—ideal for complex fingerings or extended play. Supporting this ergonomic feel is a hardware setup built for reliability: chrome Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure high tuning stability, and a Graph Tech TUSQ compensated saddle enhances intonation accuracy, letting the guitar sing clearly across the entire fretboard.
For live performance, the Hummingbird Standard comes equipped with the professional-grade L.R. Baggs VTC pickup system, offering natural-sounding amplification and on-the-fly tone control. This undersaddle system captures the nuances of your playing with clarity and warmth, delivering the guitar’s full acoustic character to your amplifier or PA. A discreet soundhole-mounted preamp features intuitive volume and tone controls, allowing you to tailor the output to suit the venue, mix, or personal preference – all without disrupting the guitar’s visual integrity. Whether you’re on stage, recording in the studio, or jamming at home, the VTC system ensures your sound stays true and expressive.
Visually, the Hummingbird remains one of Gibson’s most distinctive acoustic models. The Vintage Cherry Sunburst finish features a vibrant, hand-applied burst with rich color depth and vintage character. The rosewood fingerboard is adorned with classic mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays, combining function with elegance. Of course, the centerpiece is the legendary Hummingbird pickguard, intricately engraved with a hummingbird and floral motif on a tortoiseshell backdrop—an emblem of Gibson’s craftsmanship and attention to detail. Every aesthetic detail, from the gloss lacquer finish to the finely crafted headstock, reinforces the Hummingbird’s status as a visual and tonal masterpiece.
