The legendary Hummingbird, now with a cutaway and onboard electronics
The Gibson Hummingbird was Gibson’s first square-shouldered acoustic model and has been one of the world’s best-loved and most instantly-identifiable acoustic guitars since it was first introduced in 1960. Renowned for its versatility, it’s equally at home playing first-position chords or punchy acoustic lead lines, and has been used in a wide range of musical genres by countless artists.
Now, Epiphone is very proud to introduce the Hummingbird Standard EC, an Inspired by Gibson version of the world-famous Hummingbird with some notable updates that make this iconic guitar better than ever. The Hummingbird Standard EC features all solid wood construction, including a solid mahogany back and sides that are paired with a solid spruce top, which is the classic Hummingbird tonewood recipe that delivers all the sweet tones the Hummingbird is famous for. The body features a cutaway that makes this ‘bird even more expressive and allows for easier access to the upper regions of the fretboard. The mahogany neck is equipped with a rosewood fretboard that is outfitted with 20 standard frets and adorned with beautiful mother-of-pearl split parallelogram inlays. The belly-up bridge is also rosewood, and the saddle and nut are bone. The newly-redesigned pickguard is the epoxy style and features the iconic hummingbird, butterfly, and flowers graphics that are a visual hallmark of the Hummingbird. Quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuners ensure solid tuning stability, so you can spend more time playing and less time tuning up. When you do need to tune up, the onboard Fishman® electronics include a built-in tuner, as well as side-mounted controls for volume and EQ, making this Hummingbird ready for use on-stage and in the studio. A premium gig bag is also included to help keep the Hummingbird Standard EC safe and for easy grab-and-go transport to your next jam session, rehearsal, or gig.
A battery is not included. To power your pickup, you will need a 9-volt battery.
