Gibson Hummingbird Original Review

Anyone familiar with the world of guitars has heard of Gibson and its great instruments. Reliability, comfort, style – that’s what you understand immediately when you hear about this brand. Today I will share the Gibson Hummingbird Original review, which combines vintage classic style with modern construction. Yes, it’s expensive but worth every penny, and it proves Gibson Hummingbird’s popularity with great musicians past and present over the years. Well, let’s get started.

Body

The Gibson Acoustic Hummingbird is shaped like a classic 16″ wide all-wood Dreadnought with Square Shoulders. This beauty is topped by the famous Hummingbird Pickguard and is always recognizable everywhere. It is made with great woods, such as Sitka Spruce for the top and premium solid Mahogany for the sides and back. The Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer body finish will keep your guitar in place and is available in two luxurious colors: Heritage Cherry Sunburst and Antique Natural. In addition to the high-quality wood that gives the Gibson Hummingbird a great natural expressive sound, the volume and stability are also helped by Traditional hand scalloped X-bracing inside the body. Let’s move on!

Neck, fingerboard, headstock

The 12-inch radius Rounded Mahogany neck is strong, reliable, and attached to the body with a Compound Dovetail system. The Rosewood fingerboard has 20 standard fret edges, is inlaid with Mother-of-pearl Parallelograms, and has a Scale Length of 24.75 in. A pure classic in all its luxury is comfortable to play and creates a recognizable powerful, yet mellow sound. The picture is complete with a sturdy, easy-to-handle bone saddle, a traditional belly-up bridge, and elegant gold Gotoh Keystone Tuning Machines with Tusq Bridge Pins.

Pickup system

Like other materials, Hummingbird Original electronics are popular and of high quality. And that’s the L.R. Baggs Element VTC. The great natural amplified sound is provided by a low-profile, high-sensitivity under-saddle pickup that is stable and durable. No need to worry about it failing; experiment with different styles boldly and easily. Volume and Tone controls are mounted inside the sound hole, with no unnecessary parts interfering with your playing. The result is a guitar that sounds natural, and the acoustic sound is detailed and dynamic with a delicate high end. This guitar is built for performance on stage, and nothing should cloud the enjoyment of playing, distract or get in the way. Everything works just like clockwork.

Sound quality

The Gibson Hummingbird Acoustic-Electric Guitar is the queen of guitars, keeping the tradition of 60s classics alive. It Comes factory tuned with Plek machine tuning and is ready to play right out of the box. You won’t hear any buzzing of the frets. The guitar is one of the leaders in the world for its sound quality. Bright midrange, clear treble, and bass with a balanced timbre. You can’t help but trust the opinion of celebrities when they choose the Gibson Hummingbird Original.
