Electronics & Features

One of the defining features of this Hummingbird is its factory LR Baggs pickup system, which provides a natural and dynamic amplified tone. It captures the warmth and character of the guitar very well, making it an excellent option for live performance or recording.

The classic Hummingbird appointments—square-shoulder body, sunburst finish, and traditional Gibson styling—make it one of the most recognizable acoustic guitars ever produced.

Tone & Feel

This guitar delivers the warm, midrange-focused tone that Hummingbirds are known for, with smooth lows and clear, articulate highs. It works especially well for strumming, singer-songwriter styles, and roots-oriented playing.

The neck has a comfortable feel that is easy to get along with, and the shorter Gibson scale length adds to the overall playability and relaxed feel.
