The Gibson Hummingbird has undergone design continued evolution since it's inception. The normally mahogany instrument has seen various tonewoods including quilted maple. The color has gone from the original Cherry Sunburst to the dark Tobacco Sunburst, to a natural finish, to the current Vintage Heritage Cherry Sunburst on the True Vintage edition. The sound is balanced across the scale making it a great instrument to accompany the voice. The word "velvet" is the term that comes up when discussing the sound. It responds to a wide range of technique from mild to agressive.
The nitrocellulose finish on the Gibson True Vintage Hummingbird is the result of a time consuming process during which 9 coats are applied. The result is a microscopically thin layer of nitro will breathe and let the tone wood age naturally. The beautiful Heritage Cherry Sunburst on the Sitka Spruce top is protected by the nitrocellulose finish.The round Mahogany neck supports the Madagascar Rosewood neck and 25-1/2 scale. An added attraction for the fingerstyle guitarist is the wider 1-5/8 nut width.
Couple that with the balanced velvety tone and this guitar is an excellent choice for the fingerstyle performer.
