A Folk Icon Reinvented, True to the Gibson Spirit
Born in 1960, the Hummingbird has accompanied folk, rock, and country on countless recordings. This Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson" version retains the vintage aesthetic (Hummingbird pickguard, multi-ply binding, Kalamazoo headstock) and the projection of a large dreadnought, while offering all-solid construction and modern electronics to effortlessly fit into an acoustic or amplified set.For Which Musician and Styles?
Versatile and reassuring, it suits beginner, intermediate, and advanced guitarists seeking an expressive acoustic with easy playability. Its dreadnought body excels in powerful strumming, articulate flatpicking, and vocal accompaniment, with ease in folk, rock, country, pop, and light fingerstyle.Sound
The solid spruce top delivers attack, clarity, and beautiful projection, while the solid mahogany body provides silky mids, controlled bass, and natural sustain. The square-shouldered shape offers a wide volume reserve and a balanced response across the entire neck. Plugged in, the Fishman Sonicore + Presys VT combo preserves the acoustic tone and allows fine volume and tone adjustments from the soundhole without adding weight to the side.Recommended Compatible Accessories
To optimize playability and longevity: a set of phosphor bronze steel acoustic strings 12-53 (standard gauge suitable for dreadnoughts), a capo for 6-string acoustic guitar, a soundhole humidifier to stabilize humidity, a clip-on tuner (the Presys VT does not include a tuner), and a strap with headstock attachment for secure support.Technical specifications
