Epiphone Hummingbird Standard Cherry Sunburst

Epiphone Hummingbird Standard - Reissue of an Iconic Classic!

The Hummingbird is one of the most famous and remarkable acoustic guitars ever made. It was first introduced by Gibson in 1960 and was the first dreadnought model with square shoulders. The stylish and versatile Hummingbird was quickly and enthusiastically adopted by countless musicians across a wide range of genres. Now Epiphone proudly presents the newly revised Hummingbird Standard as part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection, which offers high-quality versions of classic Gibson models at affordable prices.

The Hummingbird Standard is built from solid tonewoods, so its sound continues to improve as the guitar ages. The back and sides of the body are crafted from solid mahogany, while the top is made from solid spruce — a classic tonewood combination that gives the Hummingbird its distinctive voice. The neck is also carved from a single piece of solid mahogany and now features a genuine rosewood fretboard with 20 standard frets and elegant mother-of-pearl split parallelogram inlays, one of the visual hallmarks of the classic Hummingbird design.

The neck has a comfortable, rounded C profile and is glued to the body and secured with a tapered dovetail joint. The ’60s Kalamazoo headstock is decorated with the Epiphone logo and the Gibson crown in mother of pearl and fitted with a bone nut and high-quality Epiphone Deluxe tuners with a gold finish and Keystone buttons that provide solid, stable tuning. Other classic Hummingbird features include an epoxy-style Hummingbird pickguard with a tortoiseshell pattern and iconic graphics, a reverse rosewood bridge plate with a bone saddle and ivory-colored plastic bridge pins, and a beautiful Cherry Sunburst finish.
