Since its introduction in 1960 as Gibson's first square-shouldered acoustic, the Hummingbird has become a staple for guitarists worldwide. From its big, bold voice to its eye-catching appearance, the Hummingbird offered players a commanding guitar that could capture the hearts of audiences with a single strum. Now, players can experience the same enchanting sound and feel of the original models with the Gibson 1960 Hummingbird, a fantastic guitar that marries vintage designs with modern enhancements.
The 1960 Hummingbird features a mahogany body topped with a thermally aged Sitka spruce soundboard. This combination of tonewoods gives it a gorgeous sound characterized by tight lows, warm mids, and crystal-clear highs. Additionally, Gibson's thermal aging process makes it sound like a broken-in acoustic that's been well-played for years, adding depth and sweetness to its voice.
Beyond its exceptional tonal qualities, the 1960 Hummingbird offers an unparalleled playing experience. Its rounded mahogany neck provides a comfortable and natural feel, allowing for hours of uninterrupted play. Guitarists will also love its glass-smooth 20-fret rosewood fingerboard that plays impeccably well from the first fret to the last.
