The Gibson Hummingbird Faded in Vintage Sunburst Satin is where timeless tradition meets modern-day performance; it's a soulful acoustic-electric built for players who demand more from their guitar. Whether you're a seasoned songwriter, a weekend performer, or simply chasing the rich character of a classic Gibson, this square-shouldered dreadnought delivers in every category. Originally introduced in the '60s and embraced by everyone from folk icons to modern alt-country artists, the Hummingbird has always stood for bold sound and unmistakable style. With the Faded finish, Gibson offers a more broken-in aesthetic that feels worn in all the right ways, echoing the vibe of a well-loved workhorse straight out of the case.
Crafted in Bozeman, Montana, this Hummingbird Faded features a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, creating a balanced tonal blend that's warm, articulate, and harmonically rich. The square-shoulder body design adds punch and projection, giving you a versatile tonal palette that works just as well for delicate fingerpicking as it does for full-bodied strumming. LR Baggs VTC electronics give it a leg up for live performance; the under-saddle pickup captures every nuance of your playing with smooth, analog warmth and stage-ready clarity.
Playability is key, and this Hummingbird doesn't disappoint. The satin-finished mahogany neck features Gibson's comfortable rounded carve, with a 24.75" scale that makes bends and transitions feel slinky and expressive. The rosewood fingerboard is adorned with classic mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays and paired with Gotoh tuners for rock-solid tuning stability. Every detail is tailored for a fluid playing experience that invites long sessions and effortless expression.
Visually, the Vintage Sunburst Satin finish and premium headstock inlay made from genuine abalone add a subtle elegance that sets this model apart. The aged look of the finish complements the warm tonal profile, giving the Hummingbird Faded the feel of a lifelong companion that's just getting started.
At Cream City Music, we're big believers in guitars that inspire, and the Gibson Hummingbird Faded is exactly that; a stunning blend of comfort, craftsmanship, and character, built for players who want their acoustic to sound as lived-in as it looks. Whether you're recording, performing, or just playing for yourself, this Hummingbird will meet you wherever the music takes you.
