Description:
The instruments in Gibson's Special Series are designed to offer the brand's most iconic models to a broader audience while maintaining Gibson's quality craftsmanship at a more accessible price point. Made in the USA, these instruments preserve the essential characteristics of historical models, with some targeted modifications aimed at keeping costs down without compromising performance.
In particular, the Gibson Hummingbird Special provides an alternative to its larger counterpart, the Hummingbird Standard, retaining its fundamental qualities with some aesthetic and structural differences. The satin finish gives it a sleek appearance, while the slightly thinner body not only makes it more comfortable to hold but also offers a different response in the bass range.
The solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides ensure the warm and balanced tone typical of this model. It is a guitar that is comfortable to play, particularly suited for strumming and rhythmic playing.
The Hummingbird Special is an interesting option for those seeking a USA-made acoustic guitar with the distinctive Gibson character, in a more accessible and versatile format.
