Gibson Hummingbird Special Acoustic Electric Guitar with Case, Vintage Cherry Sunburst

A Slimmed-down, Satin-finished Spin on the High-flying Hummingbird

The Gibson Acoustic Hummingbird Special represents a more accessible entry point into the world of Gibson’s square-shouldered stunner, built right alongside Gibson’s top-of-the-line creations in Bozeman, Montana. This beautiful ’bird begins with the same tonewood foundation as the original Hummingbird, pairing a solid Sitka spruce top with scalloped X-bracing and mahogany back and sides. The body depth has been slightly reduced, leading to a more balanced and mix-friendly twist on the Hummingbird’s dry, crisp, strum-friendly song. A utile neck in Gibson’s Round profile affords a comfortable feel while navigating the 12-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard, which sports eye-catching pearloid parallelogram inlays. What’s more, the Hummingbird Special matches the stage-proven performance of its standard-series sibling with LR Baggs electronics and Grover Rotomatic tuning machines. High-end specs further bolster this guitar’s feel and function, including a rosewood belly bridge and a nut and saddle crafted from self-lubricating TUSQ. Sealed with a slick satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish, the Hummingbird Special soars with the sound and style of a true Gibson classic.

Built in Bozeman with traditional Hummingbird tonewoods
Pickers of all sorts have championed Gibson’s Hummingbird since the 1960s — if you’re even vaguely familiar with the rock, country, folk, and pop music of the last six decades or so, then you’ve undoubtedly heard a Hummingbird strumming away in the back of the mix. Gibson’s Hummingbird Special carries on that sonic tradition right down to the tonewoods. It starts with a solid spruce top fit with scalloped X-bracing, granting you a sweet, touch-sensitive response. Solid mahogany forms the back and sides, providing you with the dry, crisp, and thumping sound beloved by Gibson Acoustic aficionados.

Accessible iterations of Gibson’s legendary models
What makes this Hummingbird so special? First, the Hummingbird Special wears an ultra-thin satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish compared to the gloss finish of Gibson Acoustic’s standard lineup. In fact, this is far from a purely cosmetic appointment, as legions of discerning Sweetwater strummers champion satin finishes. Why? They’re often far thinner and more responsive than a full gloss coat. Furthermore, the Hummingbird Special sports a slightly reduced concert-size body depth, resulting in a tighter bass response that allows its voice to slot seamlessly into any mix.

Savor the song of the Hummingbird
First introduced in 1960, the Gibson Hummingbird marked the first square-shouldered entry into Gibson’s acoustic-guitar catalog — as long as you don’t count the Gibson-made Epiphone Frontiers of the late 1950s. Visually, from the beautifully patterned pickguard to the split pearloid parallelogram fingerboard inlays, the Hummingbird is one of Gibson’s most striking creations. However, while it boasts the same spruce-topped mahogany construction of Gibson’s iconic J-45, this guitar’s square-shouldered profile grants it a song all its own with deeper bass and delightfully punchy projection.
