2009 Gibson Hummingbird True Vintage

Jumpin' Jack Flash! It's a Gibson Hummingbird! Jumpin' Jack Flash, Sister Morphine, Angie, and Dead Flowers were all recorded on a Gibson Hummingbird. Winner of Acoustic Guitar Magazine's Player's Choice Award - NOTHING can touch this guitar for sound quality. The Hummingbird has a very wide range of sound, from gutsy and loud, to sweet and soft. The square shoulders give it a powerful sound, and the mahogany back and sides give the tone a warm glow. This guitar has a rich deep bass, a clean treble all the way up the neck, that wonderful woody air and all the vintage vibe you can handle. She sings like a bird, chimes like a bell and feels like butter in your hands! Perfect for Folk or Rock, this guitar is the all time favorite for Bluegrass and Country as well.

A true legend of acoustic instruments, the Gibson Hummingbird was first introduced in 1960 as Gibson's earliest square-shoulder dreadnought. Superb for all styles of playing, with a capacity for rich, first-position folk chords and intricate solo playing, the Hummingbird quickly became the icon of the Gibson acoustic line and a favorite among legends like Gram Parsons, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Sheryl Crow and John McLaughlin. The 60's just wouldn't be the same without the bird!
