Gibson 1960 Hummingbird Acoustic Guitar - Heritage Cherry Sunburst

The legendary Gibson Hummingbird burst onto the music scene in 1960 as the company's groundbreaking first square-shoulder acoustic guitar, quickly becoming the instrument of choice for influential musicians who shaped the sound of a generation. This iconic design arrived at a pivotal moment in musical history and was immediately adopted by the era's most important artists.

The 1960 Hummingbird faithfully recreates the authentic appearance and sonic characteristics of those original instruments that became so revered. Built with a Thermally Aged Sitka spruce top, this guitar captures the essence of the early models that established the Hummingbird's reputation among professional musicians.

Gibson has equipped this model with a traditional fixed bridge and finished it using their innovative Thin Finish process, which includes a meticulous hand-rubbed VOS (Vintage Original Spec) treatment. This attention to detail ensures the guitar maintains the classic aesthetic and feel that made the original Hummingbird such a sought-after instrument in the folk and rock movements of the 1960s.
