A familiar flock and shape





The Hummingbird Studio’s dreadnought body shape offers lots of volume and power but keeps both in check with modified square shoulders ? a Gibson touch that enhances note clarity and balances dynamics. Unlike a traditional round-shouldered dreadnought, the Hummingbird Studio’s square-shouldered body shape helps focus overwhelming lows, thus eliminating muddy sounds, even when playing gets loud. With the Hummingbird Studio, you can enjoy a satisfying big-bodied acoustic sound that’s easy to deploy onstage or in the studio. Moreover, this Hummingbird Studio features the original Hummingbird’s slightly deeper body depth for fuller sound and additional sustain.





Peak tonewood quality





The Hummingbird Studio Rosewood acoustic-electric guitar’s gorgeous tone is as clear as mountain air. In fact, the Hummingbird is assembled within a stone’s throw of the mountains in Bozeman, Montana, where favorable weather assures the best possible instrument! Rosewood back and sides give this Hummingbird classic Gibson tone that’s focused and powerful with remarkably clear note separation. All-purpose fingerpickers, country artists, and recording engineers all love the timeless sound of a rosewood Gibson acoustic guitar. What’s more, a spruce top enhances rosewood’s clarity with a snappy response, allowing for a direct, punchy sound with volume that roars as well as delicate ballad-worthy sweetness.





Advanced neck design





The Hummingbird Studio’s neck is made from utile, a cousin of mahogany with superb tonal characteristics. The neck features Gibson’s Advanced Response neck carve, which feels fast and smooth but has a substantive feeling that provides ergonomic support. With a neck this advanced, you’ll be able to play longer with less fatigue.





LR Baggs electronics





The LR Baggs Element Bronze system in the Hummingbird Studio Rosewoodacoustic-electric guitar makes plugging in with confidence easy! This renowned system has won over legions of players for its incredibly authentic acoustic tone. The Element under-saddle transducer has a minimalist design and broad surface contact area that help you get the most out of your instrument. It is engineered to sense every movement of your guitar's top, delivering natural tone that is free of the typical piezo "quack" that can plague many under-saddle designs. It is also a fantastic way for modern fingerstyle players to get the most from their percussive techniques!
