Sound Pure's Take

The True Vintage/Vintage models Gibson is doing these days have got to be the next best thing to the rare, improbably expensive vintage jewels out there on the market.  Authoritative and warm, this guitar literally turned heads with the first strum after our luthier had finished fine tuning the setup.  Comfortable as can be, too--short scale dreadnoughts always end up feeling like the perfect compromise between power and playability.  But you won't be compromising anything by making room for this stellar blast from the past!

Condition: Used, Great


From Gibson Guitars

Introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s first square-shouldered dreadnought, 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 Thermally Cured sitka spruce top, the new 2016 Hummingbird Vintage reflects the appearance and performance of those early iconic instruments.
