Classic Tones - The Gibson Hummingbird Standard Rosewood Acoustic Guitar with Rosewood Burst Finish
The Gibson Hummingbird has long been celebrated for its remarkable versatility, effortlessly handling everything from first-position chord work to expressive lead playing. The Hummingbird Standard Rosewood introduces that familiar Hummingbird experience in a rosewood-bodied version of Gibson’s iconic square-shoulder acoustic. The solid rosewood back and sides contribute a richer low-end response and increased harmonic complexity, creating a distinct tonal character while retaining the model’s renowned balance. It also features the Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, designed to capture the guitar’s natural voice and the subtleties of every performance with impressive realism when amplified.
Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides, the Hummingbird Standard Rosewood delivers a dynamic and resonant acoustic experience. Scalloped X-bracing helps maximize the top’s responsiveness, while multi-ply body binding enhances its classic appearance. A gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish highlights the beauty of the darker tonewoods and complements the unmistakable Hummingbird design. Whether serving as the foundation of a rhythm track or stepping into the spotlight for lead passages, this rosewood-equipped version offers its own distinctive sonic personality.
The mahogany neck features a comfortable Round profile and is joined to the body using a compound dovetail neck joint secured with hot hide glue. The bound Indian rosewood fretboard has a 12-inch radius, 20 standard frets, and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. A TUSQ nut and gold Grover Rotomatic tuners work together to provide smooth tuning operation and reliable stability. The rosewood reverse-belly bridge is fitted with a TUSQ saddle and bridge pins, while the tortoiseshell-style pickguard showcases the instantly recognizable Hummingbird artwork. Mother-of-pearl Gibson and crown inlays adorn the headstock, helping preserve the timeless visual identity that has defined the Hummingbird across decades of music and a wide range of genres.
Internally, the Hummingbird Standard Rosewood is equipped with the Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. This active design employs two lightweight sensors mounted to the bridge plate, paired with individually optimized preamps to produce a natural, full-bodied amplified acoustic tone. The system faithfully conveys the guitar’s unique character without affecting its unplugged sound and offers gain-before-feedback performance comparable to that of an under-saddle pickup. Convenient soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls provide quick access during performance while remaining virtually out of sight to the audience. Combining the Hummingbird’s acclaimed versatility with the expanded tonal depth and complexity of a rosewood body, the Hummingbird Standard Rosewood is equally at home on stage, in the studio, or wherever inspiration strikes. It ships in a Gibson hardshell case.
