Description
The Gibson Hummingbird Standard in Purple Burst blends bold visual style with the timeless tone that's made this model a favorite for generations. If you're a singer-songwriter, rhythm player, or just want a go-to acoustic that handles strumming and fingerpicking equally well, this one's built for it. That classic square-shouldered body, paired with a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, makes for a guitar that's as versatile as it is eye-catching.
It's a loud and balanced guitar with plenty of warmth and midrange presence. The spruce top adds clarity, while the mahogany rounds out the low end and gives it some natural compression-perfect for dynamic playing or tracking vocals. The LR Baggs VTC pickup system is clean, clear, and stage-ready right out of the case, with volume and tone controls mounted just inside the soundhole for easy adjustment without disrupting the guitar's look.
The neck has Gibson's comfortable Rounded profile and is capped with a rosewood fingerboard and classic mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. And of course, it wouldn't be a Hummingbird without the detailed pickguard artwork and reverse-belly bridge. We like this one because it's got that familiar Gibson feel, but in a color you don't see every day. It plays smooth, sounds great, and stands out.
