The versatile Hummingbird Standard, now with a rosewood body
The Gibson Hummingbird™ is legendary for its versatility, equally at home strumming first-position chords and delivering soaring lead lines. The Hummingbird Standard Rosewood brings that familiar character to a rosewood-bodied version of the world-renowned square-shoulder acoustic, with slightly fuller bass response and greater overtone complexity from the rosewood back and sides. It now comes equipped with the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs™ HiFi DNA™ pickup system, delivering the guitar’s unique voice and every nuance of your playing with exceptional realism when amplified.
The Hummingbird Standard Rosewood pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with solid rosewood back and sides. Scalloped X-bracing supports the top, while multi-ply binding frames the body. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish complements the darker tonewoods and the classic Hummingbird silhouette. Like other Hummingbird models, it is equally capable of anchoring a rhythm part or stepping forward for picked lead lines, while the rosewood body gives this version its own tonal identity.
The mahogany neck has a comfortable Round profile and is attached with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint using hot hide glue. It is fitted with a bound Indian rosewood fretboard with a 12-inch radius, 20 standard frets, and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. A TUSQ® nut works with gold Grover® Rotomatic® tuners to provide smooth operation and dependable tuning.
The reverse-belly bridge is crafted from rosewood and equipped with a TUSQ saddle and bridge pins. The tortoiseshell-colored pickguard features the iconic Hummingbird graphics, while the headstock carries the Gibson logo and crown in mother of pearl. Together, these appointments preserve the visual identity that has made the Hummingbird recognizable across generations and genres.
Inside, the Hummingbird Standard Rosewood is now equipped with the all-new Gibson-exclusive Baggs™ HiFi DNA™ pickup system. This active system uses two lightweight sensors mounted on the internal bridge plate. The sensors are matched with optimized individual preamps to deliver full-bodied, amplified acoustic tone that lets the guitar’s character and personality come through when amplified, with no impact on the unamplified tone. The Baggs HiFi DNA system offers comparable gain-before-feedback to an under-saddle pickup. The system also includes soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls that are quick and easy to access while playing, and all but invisible to your audience.
The Hummingbird Standard Rosewood combines the model’s celebrated versatility with the expanded tonal character of a rosewood body. It comes ready for the stage and studio in a Gibson hardshell case.
