Description
The Gibson Hummingbird Special Acoustic-Electric in Satin Natural brings one of Gibson's most recognizable acoustic designs into a streamlined build that keeps the tone and feel authentic while making the instrument comfortable for modern players. If you are looking for the warm, balanced voice that has made the Hummingbird a staple on countless recordings, this model captures that character in a straightforward, stage-ready package. The Satin Natural finish keeps the look simple while highlighting the spruce top and classic square-shoulder body shape.
The body pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides, reinforced with traditional scalloped X-bracing for a balanced tone with strong dynamic response. The slightly thinner concert depth body gives the guitar a tighter bass response and makes it comfortable to hold during longer sessions. A utile neck with a Round profile offers a familiar, substantial feel, while the rosewood fingerboard with a 12 inch radius and 20 frets provides a smooth playing surface. Pearloid parallelogram inlays and the simplified Hummingbird pickguard maintain the visual identity associated with this classic model.
A traditional belly-up rosewood bridge with TUSQ saddle helps maintain strong sustain and reliable intonation, and Grover Rotomatic tuners keep tuning stable. For amplified performance, the L.R. Baggs Element Bronze under-saddle pickup provides natural acoustic tone with a simple soundhole-mounted volume control that is easy to adjust on the fly. We like this model because it keeps the unmistakable Hummingbird sound and style intact while offering a comfortable build and dependable electronics for stage or studio use.
