The headstock comes equipped with a bone nut and gold-plated Grover® tuning machines with keystone buttons. The classic hummingbird, butterfly, and flower-themed pickguard is tortoise-shell colored. The rosewood belly-up bridge is equipped with a bone saddle and TUSQ® bridge pins, and features pyramid carvings on the bridge wings, just like the earliest Gibson flat-top models. The Hummingbird Anniversary Limited Edition is finished in a historic Cremona Burst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer and comes craftory-equipped with L.R. Baggs™ VTC electronics, with a piezo under-saddle sensor and active preamp. The soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls are easily accessible by the player while remaining all but invisible to the audience. It comes packaged in a Gibson Custom hardshell case, along with a Certificate of Authenticity. First released in 1960, the Gibson Hummingbird is one of the most widely recognized and popular acoustic guitar models of all time. It was the first square-shoulder dreadnought acoustic guitar model from Gibson. The Hummingbird has been the choice of countless players across generations and genres, in no small part due to its versatility; no matter how you attack this flat-top, it pumps out rich, deep tones and is equally at home strumming first-position chords as it is taking the spotlight for leads and solos. Here is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a limited-edition Hummingbird celebrating a century of Gibson flat-top acoustic guitar luthiery. Act fast and get yours while they’re still available.
