For generations, musicians spanning countless styles have relied on its distinctive sound, bold visual identity, and remarkable versatility. Equally comfortable delivering powerful rhythm accompaniment or expressive lead passages, the Hummingbird offers rich, resonant tone across a wide range of playing styles. The Hummingbird Standard now features the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, faithfully capturing its unique acoustic character and the subtleties of every performance when amplified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, by Gibson’s skilled acoustic luthiers, the Hummingbird Standard features a square-shoulder body built with solid mahogany back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top strengthened with scalloped X-bracing. This time-tested tonewood combination delivers warmth, depth, and dynamic responsiveness, making it equally suited for driving rhythm work and nuanced singer-songwriter accompaniment. Multi-ply binding accents both the top and back, while a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish completes the guitar’s classic appearance. Together with the instantly recognizable Hummingbird graphics adorning the pickguard, these signature details have helped make the model a favorite among players and music fans for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mahogany neck is joined to the body using a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint secured with hot hide glue and is carved to a comfortable Round profile. A bound rosewood fretboard carries 20 standard frets and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays, while a rosewood reverse-belly bridge continues the traditional specification. TUSQ components, including the nut, saddle, and bridge pins, contribute to dependable performance, and Grover Rotomatic tuners work with the self-lubricating nut to provide excellent tuning stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternally, the Hummingbird Standard is equipped with the Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. This active design employs a pair of lightweight sensors mounted to the bridge plate, each paired with its own optimized preamp to reproduce a natural, full-range amplified acoustic sound. The system preserves the guitar’s inherent personality without affecting its unplugged tone and offers gain-before-feedback performance comparable to that of an under-saddle pickup. Convenient soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls provide quick access for on-the-fly adjustments while remaining virtually invisible to audiences. A trusted companion for live performance and studio work for more than 60 years, the Hummingbird Standard arrives ready for any musical setting in a Gibson hardshell case. It is available in both right-handed and left-handed versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: 5-ply Top, 3-ply Back, Single ply Fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Material: Sitka spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSides Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Hummingbird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Indian Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.725\" \/ 43.815 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Mother-of-pearl parallelograms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24.75 in. | 628.7 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Reverse-belly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Material: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlating: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Grover Rotomatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle Material: TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pins: TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup system: Baggs HiFi DNA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: 1 volume, 1 tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Hardshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Gibson\u003cbr\u003eModel: MCSSHBHFSWT\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I933229-N-1-WHXD\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 711106246079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
