The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Hummingbird acoustic-electric guitar closely adheres to the classic Kalamazoo style that shaped the sound of the 1960s folk revival. First introduced in 1960, the Hummingbird was featured on countless classic records and continues to inspire players today with its clear, balanced tone and all-solid-wood construction.
All-Solid Mahogany and Sitka Spruce for a Vintage Vibe
Epiphone crafted this Inspired by Gibson Hummingbird with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, yielding the warm yet articulate voice that the Hummingbird is known for. An aged vintage sunburst finish accentuates the grain and gives it a played-in look.
Playability and Comfort for Days
The mahogany neck has a rounded C profile for hours of playing comfort. A 12″ radius Indian laurel fretboard hosts 20 medium frets and mother-of-pearl split parallelogram inlays. A bone nut and saddle provide optimal tone transfer and string spacing.
Plug in and Perform
Epiphone makes it easy to amplify your Hummingbird with a Fishman Sonicore pickup and Sonitone preamp with volume and tone controls. Deluxe tuners with gold bushings provide precise and stable tuning.
Iconic Touches
Other features include a tortoiseshell pickguard, 6-ply bound top, 4-ply bound back, antique ivory bound fingerboard, reverse belly bridge, and Epiphone branded die-cast tuners. At 43.5″ long, the Hummingbird’s dreadnought cutaway body is comfortable to play with and produces a bold, balanced tone with shimmering highs and tight lows.
