Product Information
The Gibson Hummingbird Special is a left-handed acoustic that traces its lineage to Gibson's iconic 1960 original–one of the most visually distinctive flat-tops ever built. Handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana by Gibson's acoustic luthiers, this model delivers USA-made quality at a more accessible price point than the Standard. The square-shouldered body pairs solid mahogany back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top reinforced by traditional scalloped X-bracing, yielding warm, balanced tone with genuine dynamic range.
The concert-depth body is slightly thinner than standard Hummingbird specs, tightening the bass response and improving comfort for extended playing sessions. A utile neck with round profile attaches via compound dovetail joint and hot hide glue, while the rosewood fretboard sports a 12-inch radius, pearloid parallelogram inlays, and 20 frets. Hardware consists of a traditional belly-up rosewood bridge with TUSQ® saddle, TUSQ nut and bridge pins, plus Grover® Rotomatic® tuners for tuning stability. An L.R. Baggs® Element Bronze under-saddle pickup and active preamp with soundhole-mounted volume control enable stage and studio deployment straight from the soft-shell case.
The satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Satin Honey Burst resists the gloss wear that catches light during performance, making it practical for gigging musicians. The simplified pickguard graphics maintain visual continuity with the Hummingbird's legendary aesthetic without overstatement. Left-handed orientation is fully mirrored from the right-handed model, preserving all tonal and construction characteristics.
