Description
Since its introduction in 1960, the Hummingbird has been one of Gibson's most enduring models.
This month's Hummingbird Ebony Limited Edition features Gibson's famous ebony finish, making it a guitar that's dressed for rock'n'roll, yet still desirable to fans of he original.
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 leadlines further up the neck, and you can plug it straight in thanks to the L.R.
Baggs Element VTC pickup system.
Bold and brash, the chest-thumping sound of this big-bodied acoustic was designed to inspire from the moment you pick it up.
The exclusive slope-shouldered Redondo body shape has a rich, commanding voice that fills any room.
The fully-painted solid Sitka spruce top, solid mahogany sides and back, as well as matching painted 6-in-line headstock and maple binding and rosette, give it a shot of electrifying attitude.
Dynamic, unique and unconventional—like today’s guitarists—the Redondo Special refuses to be bound by the past.
