Breathing New Life into the Hummingbird
When you think of the most iconic and eye-catching acoustic guitars of all time, the Gibson Hummingbird has to make the list. Decades after the first ’birds entered the Gibson catalog, the Hummingbird Studio Walnut appears! It reimagines the original Hummingbird design with a Sitka spruce top and walnut back and sides, offering a rich, ear-pleasing tone that you really must hear to believe. The Hummingbird Studio Walnut comes ready for a life on the road, thanks to its onboard LR Baggs Element electronics. Each time you plug into an amp and crank up in front of the crowd, you’ll hear natural tones that forego the stuffiness that can plague other acoustic-electrics. Of course, the redesigned Hummingbird pickguard also offers more of the same eye-catching visuals. If you’re looking for a versatile acoustic-electric dreadnought with alluring aesthetics, you’ve found it in the Gibson Acoustic Hummingbird Studio Walnut.

Stunning all-solid tonewoods
Gorgeous acoustic tone: that’s what you get with the Gibson Hummingbird Studio Walnut. The guitar is made from all-solid tonewoods, with Sitka spruce sitting atop walnut back and sides. While it’s a departure from the legendary guitars of old, the Hummingbird Studio Walnut yields a sublime tone that falls somewhere between the rich lows of rosewood and the bell-like overtones of maple. Plus, the dreadnought body shape delivers all the volume and projection you can handle when you really dig in with your pick.
LR Baggs electronics reproduce amazing tones for the stage
If you regularly gig, you know that a guitar’s plugged-in tone is just as crucial as its acoustic tone. And your live tone will be sublime with the Gibson Hummingbird Studio Walnut. This acoustic-electric comes loaded with an LR Baggs Element system that mirrors the movement of the soundboard. By loading the Hummingbird Studio Walnut with this pickup, Gibson ensures that a lifelike tone always comes out of the output jack. You’ll also appreciate the low-profile soundhole-mounted controls.
Your playing — unleashed
Ask any guitar player at Sweetwater, and they’ll tell you that acoustic’s neck often sways their purchase decision. One of the many reasons we like the Hummingbird Studio Walnut is the Advanced Response neck profile. Carved from mahogany, this neck profile is slightly thicker than the SlimTaper necks, providing you with a somewhat chunkier feel. But even with the added thickness, you’ll be amazed by how playable this neck really is! Whether you’re strumming chords down low or picking lead lines up high, the Hummingbird Studio Walnut’s neck is sure to impress.
