 Gibson HummingBird
True Vintage

 
 
 
    The Hummingbird is one of Gibson's most acclaimed flattop guitars and this offering from the True Vintage Series seeks to capture the beauty and playability of their legendary acoustics from the early 20th century. Featuring historical bracing patterns, original tone woods, traditional binding over the fret ends and a VOS Cherry Burst finish that matches the first run of Hummingbirds in 1960 this guitar may be the closest thing to finding a 60's Hummingbird stashed in a closet! 

    The Sitka spruce top has a strong crisp note fundamental ideal for flat picking and open chording and the augmented upper mids helped to provide a warm set of overtones. This guitar has a nice amount of headroom and continued to produce tone as I got more aggressive with my right hand attack. Whether you are a Gibson fan or just a fan classic flat top acoustics this is the guitar for you!
