A unique new model, the Hummingbird has always been famous for its square shoulder dreadnought shape with typically mahogany back and sides. This model has upgraded rosewood back and sides and makes for a more rich sound with more low end.
From Gibson Guitar’s Website: "The Gibson Hummingbird™ is legendary for its versatility; it is equally at home strumming first-position chords and delivering soaring lead lines. We are pleased to release a new version of the Hummingbird Standard with rosewood back and sides that has all of the playing and sonic characteristics you’d expect from the world-renowned square-shouldered acoustic but with slightly fuller bass response and overtone complexity due to the rosewood body. The Hummingbird Standard’s mahogany neck has a comfortable rounded profile and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. Also available as left-handed models, these ‘birds have a TUSQ® nut, saddle, and bridge pins, gold Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, the iconic Hummingbird graphics on the pickguards, and are equipped with L.R. Baggs™ VTC electronics, so they’re ready to plug in on stage or in the studio. A Gibson hardshell case is included."
