First introduced in 1960, the Gibson Hummingbird™ is one of the most distinctive and well-loved acoustic guitars. Handcrafted with care in Bozeman, Montana, the Gibson Hummingbird Special offers players a USA-built Gibson Hummingbird model at a very attractive price. The Hummingbird Special has a traditional square-shouldered body constructed using genuine solid mahogany for the back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top that is reinforced with our traditional scalloped X-bracing. The “concert depth” body is slightly thinner than the body on a Hummingbird Standard. The utile neck is attached to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint. The neck has a comfortable Round profile, and the rosewood fretboard has a 12” radius and features pearloid parallelogram inlays, which is one of the visual hallmarks that makes the Hummingbird easily recognizable. The Hummingbird Special is finished in satin nitrocellulose lacquer and comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs™ Element Bronze under-saddle piezo pickup and active preamp. Gigbag included.
