Description
The Gibson Custom Hummingbird Anniversary Limited Edition in Cremona Burst celebrates one hundred years of Gibson flat-top craftsmanship with a stunning tribute to one of the most recognizable acoustic guitars ever built. Limited to just 100 instruments worldwide, this commemorative model is part of Gibson Custom's exclusive Anniversary Collection, honoring the enduring legacy of the Hummingbird while showcasing the artistry and meticulous craftsmanship of the Bozeman, Montana workshop. Whether you're a lifelong Gibson enthusiast, a performing songwriter, or a discerning collector, this remarkable instrument is built to inspire for generations.
A select bearclaw Sitka spruce top pairs with mahogany back and sides to deliver the unmistakable Hummingbird voice; warm, balanced, and remarkably responsive with rich lows, articulate mids, and sparkling highs. The premium tonewoods are complemented by multi-ply body binding, an abalone-bound top, and a beautifully appointed abalone rosette, while the gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the guitar to resonate freely and develop even greater character over time. Whether accompanying vocals or standing on its own, this Hummingbird projects with the full, open sound that has made it a favorite across countless genres.
The mahogany neck features Gibson's comfortable Rounded profile, offering a substantial yet inviting feel that suits long playing sessions with ease. A bound rosewood fingerboard carries 20 standard frets and elegant mother-of-pearl split parallelogram inlays, while a bone nut, rosewood belly-up bridge with vintage-inspired pyramid wing carving, bone saddle, and TUSQ bridge pins provide outstanding sustain, tuning stability, and tonal clarity. Factory-installed L.R. Baggs VTC electronics ensure that every nuance of the guitar's natural voice is faithfully reproduced on stage through discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls.
The historic Cremona Burst finish highlights the dramatic bearclaw figuring of the spruce top, while the iconic tortoise Hummingbird pickguard with its colorful floral and hummingbird artwork remains one of the most beloved visual signatures in acoustic guitar history. Gold Grover Keystone tuners and the vintage script Gibson logo complete an instrument whose appearance is every bit as inspiring as its sound.
The Gibson Custom Hummingbird Anniversary Limited Edition is more than a celebration of a legendary model. It is a fitting tribute to one hundred years of Gibson flat-top innovation, handcrafted in extremely limited numbers for musicians and collectors who demand extraordinary tone, timeless beauty, and heirloom-quality craftsmanship. Cream City Music is proud to offer this exceptional anniversary instrument while this limited production remains available.
