There are some guitars that just grab your imagination and don't let go. Ever since I heard Chris Lancry, a French blues guitarist, on a Gibson Hummingbird
The Gibson Hummingbird
Designed For Singers
The Hummingbird
The Hummingbird has a rich woody tone and is recognized as playing exceptionally well. In 2000 Acoustic Guitar awarded it Player's Choice and described the sound as "The Hummingbird has a very wide range of sound, from gutsy and loud, to sweet and soft. Superb for all styles of playing, whether just chording or playing intricate solos."
Mahogany Body
Beneath its eye catching finish lies a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides. It has a straight bridge made of rosewood with a plastic saddle and bridge pins. The cherry sunburst finish is surrounded by a white binding.
The neck is made of high quality rosewood with mother of pearl trapezoid shaped fretboard inlays. The headstock is equipped with gold tulip shaped Gibson tuners.
Over the years a few models were made in natural or vintage sunburst finishes too.
