Gibson Hummingbird Standard (Baggs HiFi DNA Preamp) - southwestern turquoise
Introduced in 1960, the Gibson Hummingbird is a steel-string acoustic guitar every bit as timeless as the J-45, the J-200, or the Martin D-28. It has been the go-to instrument for countless legendary musicians: Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Keith Richards, Sheryl Crow, Eric Clapton...
The Gibson Modern Collection Hummingbird Standard (MCSSHBHFSWT) retains the fundamental characteristics of the original Dreadnought Square Shoulder Hummingbird, enhanced with a Baggs HiFi DNA preamp.
The Gibson Hummingbird Standard’s all-solid-wood construction combines traditional woods: a Sitka spruce top, a mahogany body and neck, and an Indian rosewood fingerboard (20 frets). This classic combination—in the best sense of the word—produces a sound that is both full and powerful, with generous bass, present mids, and rich treble that never lacks clarity.
Its natural acoustic volume is ideal for singers who accompany themselves on guitar.
The Hummingbird Standard is equipped with the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system.
The HiFi DNA system uses two pickups placed under the bridge instead of the usual piezo pickup. They record vibrations from both the strings and the soundboard. The result is an even more natural and dynamic recording that faithfully reproduces the instrument’s original acoustic character.
Each Baggs HiFi DNA pickup has its own active preamp. The volume and tone controls are located on the inner edge of the soundhole.
The Gibson Hummingbird Standard is a must-have electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar—fundamentally versatile—that will suit most musicians, regardless of their musical style or playing technique (fingerpicking, strumming).
