Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

SP Luthier Notes: A crack was present on the bridge of the guitar. As such our luthier stabilized, filled, and refinished the affected area. The bridge is a bolt on construction, which is the original design of this instrument, so gaps under the wings of the bridge are visable, and common with these instruments. Some frets as they were could not be repaired to an acceptable state so they were replaced with spec accurate fretwire and shaped into near mint condition. Pickguard was resecured. No further work was needed

Uncover the singing soul of this exceptional 1963 Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar, a verifiable investment and a spectacular player. Serial #109785 features the classic combination of a vibrant Spruce Top and warm Honduran Mahogany back and sides, delivering the rich, resonant tone that defined the 60s sound. You'll love the superb playability of the Honduran Mahogany Neck and its smooth Rosewood Fingerboard, beautifully inlaid with glistening mother-of-pearl Parallelograms. Adorned with its famous Pickguard Casted Hummingbird and detailed Multi-Ply Body Bindings, this instrument is a captivating piece of vintage Gibson artistry. It’s absolutely rock solid, a supreme companion that promises decades of inspiring musical journeys!
