Overview
The groundbreaking look and sound of the 1960's. Introduced in 1960 as Gibson's first square-shouldered dreadnought, the Hummingbird arrived at the dawn of an era in music, and was rapidly embraced by the prime movers on the scene. Built with Thermally Aged sitka spruce top, the 2016 Hummingbird Vintage reflects the appearance and performance of those early iconic instruments. Aged top woods were developed with the help of a major university for use on the 2016 Vintage line. This allows Gibson to replicate the aging process on the cellular level for that legendary 1960's Hummingbird vintage sound and appearance.
