Gibson Hummingbird Custom
SKU: 043-04362-3EB
The Hummingbird Gets the Custom Treatment
The Hummingbird™ was Gibson’s first square-shoulder acoustic model and has been the choice of musical legends across genres for generations. Now, the Gibson Custom Shop is proud to introduce the new Hummingbird Custom. It builds on the classic Hummingbird features that players expect, including a Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a 24.75” scale mahogany neck with a round profile, and adds Les Paul™ Custom-inspired cosmetics, including an Ebony nitrocellulose lacquer finish, multi-ply binding on the top and back, a Les Paul-style peghead with a Custom split diamond inlay in mother of pearl, a bound ebony fretboard with mother of pearl Custom Block inlays, and gold Grover® Rotomatic® tuners. It comes equipped with L.R. Baggs™ Session VTC electronics and a hardshell case.
