Description

Introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s first square-shoulder acoustic guitar, the Hummingbird™ arrived at the dawn of a new era in music and was rapidly embraced by the prime movers on the scene. Built with a thermally aged Sitka spruce top, the 1960 Hummingbird Heavy Aged reflects the appearance and performance of those early icons. Featuring a mahogany neck with an Indian rosewood fretboard, a fixed bone bridge, bone nut, and bone bridge pins, the famous casted Hummingbird pickguard, and gold Gotoh® tuners with Keystone buttons, it’s been masterfully aged by the artisans of the Murphy Lab to give it the look and feel of a long-cherished musical companion.
