Bold new construction, bold new look. That’s the Hummingbird Songwriter Modern EC Walnut. The square shoulder classic gets a progressive upgrade with a new, slimmer body shape, as well as walnut back and sides and a sitka spruce top with traditional, hand-scalloped X-bracing, one-piece mahogany neck with Advanced Response profile, 16” fingerboard radius and an LR Baggs Element pickup.
About Gibson Montana:
Luthier Orville Gibson founded the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co. Ltd. in Kalamazoo, MI in 1902. Its original aim was to make mandolins and mandolin-family instruments. Over the last 100-plus years, Gibson Brands, Inc., as it is now known, has since evolved into the world’s premier manufacturer of semi-hollow and hollow body electric guitars, as well as a celebrated portfolio of innovative solid-body and acoustic models.
“Some people hear their own inner voices with great clearness. And they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy... or they become legend.” So wrote Montana author Jim Harrison, perhaps about the master luthiers of Gibson Montana, which produces all of Gibson’s acoustic guitars.
