Gibson Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC, Rosewood Burst – Gibson

The Gibson Hummingbird™ is known for its versatility. It has always been equally well suited for strumming first-position chords and taking the spotlight for picking lead lines. The Hummingbird has become more versatile and expressive than ever with the introduction of the Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC. The Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC’s rosewood body, paired with the Sitka spruce top, adds a bit more bass and harmonic complexity to the legendary Hummingbird tonal recipe. Like all Hummingbirds, it’s more than capable of holding down the rhythm in the hands of a rock and roll sideman or accompanying the most nuanced performance under the fingers of today’s alternative singer-songwriter, but with the addition of the cutaway on the Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC, the access to the upper frets is significantly increased, making this Hummingbird a great choice for lead players and others who require increased note range and enhanced expressiveness. The Hummingbird’s mahogany neck has a comfortable Round SlimTaper™ profile and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. This ‘bird has a TUSQ® nut, saddle, and bridge pins, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, the iconic Hummingbird graphics on the pickguard, and is equipped with L.R. Baggs™ VTC electronics, so it’s ready to plug in on stage or in the studio from the moment you take it out of the included hardshell case.
