The Gibson Hummingbird Special is a modern take on one of Gibson’s most iconic acoustics, delivering legendary tone and craftsmanship at a more accessible price point. Hand-built in Bozeman, Montana, this square-shouldered beauty features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with genuine solid mahogany back and sides, all supported by traditional scalloped X-bracing for a warm, balanced sound with exceptional dynamic range. Its slimmer “concert depth” body not only offers a more focused low end—perfect for fitting cleanly in a mix—but also enhances playing comfort for long sessions. The utile neck is joined with a precise compound dovetail and secured with hot hide glue, continuing Gibson’s tradition of premium craftsmanship. A comfortable Round neck profile, 12” radius rosewood fretboard, and classic pearloid parallelogram inlays ensure smooth playability and timeless aesthetics. Equipped with 20 frets, a traditional belly-up rosewood bridge with a TUSQ® saddle, and matching TUSQ nut and bridge pins, the Hummingbird Special is built for stable, resonant performance. Grover® Rotomatic® tuners offer reliable tuning, while the simplified Hummingbird pickguard art adds a subtle touch of heritage charm. Finished in smooth satin nitrocellulose lacquer, available in either Satin Vintage Cherry Sunburst or Satin Wine Red, the Hummingbird Special is a stunning blend of tradition, comfort, and sonic versatility—perfect for stage, studio, or songwriting sessions.
