First introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s inaugural square-shoulder acoustic, the iconic Hummingbird™ has earned its place among the most beloved acoustic guitars ever produced, finding favour with players from every era and musical style. The Hummingbird Standard EC builds on that legacy by incorporating a cutaway design that provides easier access to the upper frets. It also features the Gibson exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA™ pickup system, faithfully capturing the instrument’s distinctive tonal character and the subtleties of your performance with remarkable authenticity when amplified.
Like the Hummingbird Standard, the Hummingbird Standard EC combines a solid Sitka spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides. Scalloped X-bracing helps shape its responsive voice, while multi-ply binding accents the classic square-shoulder body design. This time-tested construction is equally at home driving rhythm parts in a rock ’n’ roll setting or supporting the dynamic expression of today’s singer-songwriters. A gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish completes the guitar’s timeless appearance
