Gibson Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC (Baggs HiFi DNA Preamp) - rosewood burst

The Gibson Hummingbird is a true legend in the world of steel-string acoustic guitars, celebrated by iconic artists over the decades. This model, the GIBSON Modern Collection Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC (MCSSHRECHFRB), preserves the essence of the original while offering modern features.

Overview

Introduced in 1960, the Gibson Hummingbird is an iconic guitar, prized by musicians such as Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, and Eric Clapton. This reimagined model builds on the foundation of the traditional Dreadnought Square Shoulder Hummingbird, enhanced with a rosewood body, a cutaway, and the innovative Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system.

All-solid-wood construction for rich, warm tones

The Gibson Hummingbird Standard Rosewood stands out for its all-solid construction, combining premium woods: a Sitka spruce top, a rosewood body, a mahogany neck, and an Indian rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets. This unique combination offers an impressive tonal spectrum:

• Full-bodied, well-defined bass
• Balanced mids
• Vibrant highs

Compared to a model with a mahogany body, this guitar features more pronounced bass and enhanced harmonic depth, making it ideal for singer-songwriters.

Advanced preamp for faithful recording

Equipped with the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system, the Hummingbird Standard Rosewood delivers unmatched sound quality. This system uses two pickups positioned beneath the bridge plate, capturing both the vibrations of the strings and those of the soundboard. The result is a natural and dynamic reproduction of the guitar’s acoustic sound:

• More faithful recordings
• Active preamps for each pickup
• Built-in volume and tone controls for easy adjustment

Versatility suited to all playing styles

The Gibson Hummingbird Standard Rosewood is an essential electro-acoustic guitar for any musician, offering versatility that adapts to various musical styles and playing techniques, whether fingerpicking or strumming.
