Gibson Hummingbird Original AN

For sale is a Gibson Hummingbird Original AN, built in 2023, in excellent condition with only minimal signs of use. This guitar combines the classic sound and iconic look of a true legend with modern technology and exceptional playability.

The Hummingbird, first introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s inaugural square-shoulder dreadnought, remains one of the most beloved acoustic guitars in the world. Its distinctive hummingbird pickguard and elegant Antique Natural finish give it an unmistakable appearance.

A solid AA-grade Sitka spruce top paired with a mahogany body delivers a warm, powerful, yet clear tone. Thanks to the traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing, the guitar offers excellent resonance and projection, making it ideal for both fingerstyle and rhythm playing. The mahogany neck with its slim taper round profile and rosewood fingerboard ensures comfortable playability, complemented by precisely adjusted string action.

A standout feature is the built-in L.R. Baggs Element VTC pickup system, which captures the guitar’s acoustic tone naturally and authentically. Volume and tone controls are discreetly positioned at the soundhole edge, preserving the guitar’s aesthetic appeal.
