What We Think

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. 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.

About Manufacturer

Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
