Since its release in the 1960's, the Hummingbird has been luring guitar lovers with its sweet, velvet tone and distinctive appearance. This celebrity guitar, equally loved by blues, country, folk, and rock players, has become a symbol of the passionate '60s and has also earned its place in the heart-throbbing music of today. True to its original design, the Early '60s Hummingbird is handmade with a carefully applied Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish, and its authentic Gibson Hummingbird pickguard. It's honey-like tone is attributed to its Sitka Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, 24 3/4" scale length, and its traditional construction design which includes a dovetail neck-to-body joint, scalloped bracing, and lacquer finish.
