Today, the Gibson and Epiphone Hummingbird™ is on deck! But what is so special about the Gibson Hummingbird?

In this excerpt from our Gibson Acoustic guitar comparison - watch the full video HERE:    • How to choose the right Gibson acoust...   Gibson Gear Guide host Dinesh Lekhraj offers a (very) brief history of the Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar and plays through some of its signature sounds, helping you decide if this is the best acoustic guitar for you!

The iconic Gibson Hummingbird, first introduced in 1960, is known for a few signature elements: its larger square-shoulder dreadnought design, rich, full-bodied sound that beautifully blends warmth and clarity and its instantly recognizable pickguard which of course has a hummingbird display on it!

One of the major benefits of the Gibson Hummingbird, something that singer-songwriters love, is that offers a unique sound profile that stands out in the mix when compared to other acoustic guitars, providing a balanced tone that is perfect for both strumming and fingerpicking, so it makes it one of the best singer-songwriter guitars as the projection actually stands out more than other acoustic guitars - giving you the perfect accompaniment to your voice. The square-shoulder design on the Hummingbird gives you a bit more bass and volume, enhancing its overall presence, which also makes it a great choice for guitarists who want to record acoustic sessions. The solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides add to its resonance and sustain, while the design of the pickguard adds a touch more elegance.

What’s cool about this guitar is the onboard electronics – the VTC LR Baggs system under the saddle with volume and tone controls, making it ideal for singer-songwriters who need a reliable gigging guitar. Due to its deep range, whether you're strumming powerfully or playing intimate fingerstyle pieces, the Hummingbird can handle it all with its signature low-end growl and mid-range richness.

Watch as Dinesh explores the signature sound of the Gibson Hummingbird!
