Epiphone proudly presents the Hummingbird Acoustic Guitar - an exquisite work of the luthier's art in every respect: tone, playability, and appearance. The classic of classic acoustics, the Epiphone Hummingbird is instantly recognizable, both in look and its warm acoustic sound.
The Hummingbird's top is made from select spruce, while the back and sides are constructed from mahogany. Spruce is the most traditional wood for flat-top soundboards. It's a strong, light, straight-grained wood, offering a sweet, well-rounded voice and a solid high-end response. Mahogany's bright, tight sound and excellent presence make it a great choice for a body tone wood. Overall, the Hummingbird delivers a balanced tone, with warm bass and excellent projection.
The Hummingbird features a rosewood fingerboard, like so many other instruments - the resilience of this durable wood makes for a balanced and stable fingerboard, giving each chord and note clarity and bite. The split parallelogram inlays? Well, they just look sharp.
Unlike cheaper designs, the Hummingbird features a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut, delivering more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets. The Hummingbird also comes equipped with Epiphone chrome tuning machines, to keep your tuning solid. A rosewood bridge takes up the other end.
Sure, sound is important, but you want your instrument to look nice, too. The Hummingbird's definitely up to the task, with its rich Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish, floral-patterned pick guard, and multi-ring rosette. If what you want is a great-sounding, stunning acoustic guitar, you've found it with the Epiphone Hummingbird!
