Debuting in 1960 as Gibson's first square-shoulder acoustic, the Hummingbird™ arrived just as a new musical era was emerging, quickly becoming a favorite of influential artists. With a thermally aged Sitka spruce top, this 1960 Hummingbird model captures the look and tone of the early originals. Crafted by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab, it features Light Aging, where both the finish and hardware are carefully aged to replicate decades of gentle playwear, imbuing it with the unique character, vibe, and feel of an authentic piece from Gibson’s Golden Era.
