Gibson Acoustic

Modern Classic.

While every discerning guitarist appreciates the glories of hand-selected solid woods and the superlative tone that the master luthier’s craft can yield, many players today also require modifications to the traditional template—cutaways for upper-fret access, onboard electronics, modified neck profiles, and setups for the ultimate playability demanded of many crossover styles—all features that enable a professional performance tool to go straight to the stage or studio. Enter Gibson’s Modern Classics, a collection of Super Jumbos, Jumbos, Round and Square Shoulder Dreadnoughts, and original Small Body guitars. All are fully steeped in Gibson tradition and rendered with Bozeman craftsmanship, but hotrodded with cutting-edge features for 21st century performance needs.

“The Modern Classics are designed for the contemporary player, and particularly for crossover players who go between fingerstyle and pick,” says Mike Voltz, Production Manager of Gibson’s acoustic division. “Every model in the line includes the finest electronics available, and we are convinced these are also the most playable acoustic guitars available today.”

All Modern Classics feature:
• A new fingerboard edge, rolled over to the Bozeman workshop’s unique “Big Sky” radius for ultimate comfort
• The industry’s lowest action and finest playability
• Grover Rotomatic tuners
• The industry’s finest electronics, each selected as most appropriate to the model
• Bone nut and Tusq saddle
• Premium hardshell case .

The Hummingbird
From a company that has brought the guitar world so many great originals, the Hummingbird stands out strong and proud. Introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s first square-shouldered dreadnought, the Hummingbird arrived at the dawn of a new era in music, and was rapidly embraced by several prime movers on the scene. In the hands of everyone from Keith Richards to Gram Parsons, it quickly proved itself equally adept at folk, country and rock, and excelled at many of the crossovers genres in between that helped to set the scene for the ’60s.

Much of the Hummingbird’s appeal lies in its versatility. However you attack this flat-top, it pumps out rich, deep tones, and is equally at home thrumming out first-position chords as it is taking the spotlight for flatpicking leadlines further up the neck. Its spacious mahogany body and sweet, select Sitka spruce top are more than capable of nailing down the rhythm in the hands of a rock and roll sideman, or of accompanying the most nuanced performance under the fingers of today’s alternative singer-songwriter. Made in the image of the original, in Gibson’s acclaimed acoustic facility in Bozeman, MT, today’s Hummingbird lives up to its pedigree, bringing you all of these capabilities and more as, quite simply, one of the finest acoustic guitars available today.
