Overview

The Hummingbird upgraded with an opaque black finish and L.R. Baggs electronics.

Since its introduction in 1960, the Hummingbird has been one of Gibson's most enduring models. This month's Hummingbird Ebony Special limited edition features a beautiful opaque black finish. Much of the Hummingbird’s appeal lies in its versatility. However you attack this flat-top, it pumps out rich, deep tones, and is equally at home strumming out first-position chords as it is taking the spotlight for flatpicking lead lines further up the neck. Appealing to contemporary fans of the original, the Hummingbird Ebony is dressed for rock 'n' roll. Classic Hummingbird features include solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, a mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlay, distinctive Hummingbird pickguard, upgraded Grover Rotomatic gold tuners, and L.R. Baggs VTC pickup system.

Limited to only 50 instruments worldwide for this unique Gibson Acoustic limited edition hand built in beautiful Bozeman, Montana.

Ships with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Hardshell case included.
