Epiphone Hummingbird Aged Natural Antique Gloss acoustic guitar - The classic in new splendor

The Epiphone H ummingbird is one of the most famous models among the acoustic guitars that have made music history. Inspired by the legendary Gibson Hummingbird, which experienced its heyday in the 1960s, Epiphone is now launching a new edition that not only preserves the classic style but also integrates modern features. The iconic Hummingbird has been the choice of famous musicians for decades, from country legends to rock icons. Its warm, rich sound and unmistakable pickguard with bird graphics have made the guitar famous around the world. The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Hummingbird continues this tradition, while modern technologies ensure optimum playing comfort.

Epiphone - quality and tradition for decades

Epiphone, a leading manufacturer of musical instruments for over a century, has made a name for itself by offering high-quality instruments to both beginners and professional musicians. The close relationship with Gibson, one of the most renowned guitar brands in the world, has enabled Epiphone to reinterpret legendary models such as the Hummingbird in a more affordable format. With the "Inspired by Gibson" series, Epiphone offers authentic reproductions of classics that make no compromises in terms of sound or design. These instruments are not only beautiful to look at, but also impress with their excellent sound and robust construction. The Hummingbird is an outstanding example of Epiphone's ability to combine tradition and innovation.

Technical details of the Epiphone Hummingbird Aged Natural Antique Gloss acoustic guitar

The Epiphone Hummingbird is made in the classic dreadnought style with a "square shoulder" shape, which gives it a voluminous and balanced sound. Its body is made of solid mahogany, which is not only known for its warm tone color, but also for its durability. The top is made of solid Sitka spruce, one of the most popular woods in guitar making, prized for its excellent projection and clarity. A special "Quarter Sawn Spruce" bracing reinforces the structural integrity of the guitar and helps to optimize the sound.

The guitar features multi-ply binding on both the top and back for added protection and visual appeal. The binding system combines ivory and black tones in a classic design that perfectly matches the vintage aesthetic of the guitar. The elegant "Aged Antique Natural Gloss" finish gives the instrument a subtle, aged look reminiscent of the Hummingbird models from the 1960s.

The fingerboard is made of Indian laurel wood, which is prized for its warm tone and pleasant feel. With a radius of 305 mm (12 inches), it offers comfortable playability that is ideal for both chords and solo parts. The 20 medium jumbo frets provide enough space for precise playing, while the "Mother of Pearl Split Parallelogram" inlays add a touch of elegance. The bone nut ensures optimum transmission of string vibrations and increases sound stability.

Electronics and features for the modern musician

Another highlight of the Epiphone Hummingbird is the integrated pickup system from Fishman. The Fishman Sonicore under-saddle pickup in combination with the Sonitone preamp enables the musician to retain the natural acoustic sound of the guitar even in amplified situations. The volume and tone color can be adjusted directly via the controls located in the sound hole without compromising the aesthetics of the guitar. This system is ideal for live performances and studio recordings where an authentic acoustic sound is required.

The guitar is equipped with gold Epiphone Deluxe tuners, which are not only visually appealing, but also ensure a stable tuning position. The tuners have "press-in" bushings, which further improve tuning precision. The bridge in "reverse belly" design, also made of Indian laurel, complements the elegant overall appearance and ensures even transmission of the string tension.

The pickguard, which is designed in the shape of a hummingbird and decorated with tortoiseshell details, not only provides protection for the top of the guitar, but also underlines the unmistakable character of this model. The dual-action truss rod construction provides stability and allows the player to adjust the neck as desired. The guitar is supplied without a battery, a 9-volt battery is required to power the pickup system.
