The Gibson Hummingbird Left-Hand Elegant Koa in Honey Burst delivers the iconic square-shoulder dreadnought profile in a left-handed configuration with Hawaiian koa back and sides. Koa's bright, articulate tonal character shares maple's top-end clarity while developing additional warmth through regular play, creating a balanced, lively voice with sparkling highs. A three-rope marquetry strip accents the centre of the koa back, paired with a AAA Sitka spruce top and the model's distinctive pickguard featuring traditional Hummingbird artwork-flowers, butterfly, and hummingbird-rendered in tortoise-shell with gold and silver-foil accents that shift iridescently under changing light. The mahogany neck is shaped to a comfortable Round profile with a 628.7mm scale length, bound rosewood fretboard hosting 20 standard frets, and abalone split parallelogram inlays. Gold-plated Grover Rotomatic tuners anchor the headstock alongside a TUSQ nut and abalone-rendered Gibson logo and crown. The rosewood belly-up bridge features abalone dot inlays with TUSQ saddle and bridge pins. Factory-installed L.R. Baggs VTC electronics combine an under-saddle Element pickup with internal preamp, delivering natural acoustic tone through volume and tone controls positioned discreetly at the soundhole's edge. A Gibson Custom hardshell case provides transport protection. First introduced in 1960 as Gibson's original square-shoulder dreadnought, the Hummingbird has remained a go-to instrument across numerous musical styles for over six decades. The powerful voice handles expressive lead work and rich rhythm playing with equal capability. This Elegant Koa edition brings exquisite appointments and the tonal depth of koa to left-handed players seeking the celebrated Hummingbird voice with visual character that develops further richness over time.
