Gibson 50th Anniversary 1960 Hummingbird Acoustic Guitar with Hardshell Case
The Gibson 50th Anniversary 1960 Hummingbird is a True Vintage reproduction of the first Gibson square shouldered dreadnought acoustic guitar. Made by the Gibson Montana division with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, it includes period-correct scalloped top bracing and tall/thin back bracing for superb resonance throughout the body. This 50th Anniversary Hummingbird has all of the beauty and sound that collectors have sought for years.
The 24 3/4" neck of the 50th Anniversary Hummingbird is made from one piece of quarter-sawn mahogany with a select Indian rosewood fingerboard, and is attached with Gibson's traditional compound dovetail joint at the 14th fret for superb tonal depth and sustain. It is carved to a comfortable rounded profile, with a 12" fingerboard radius and a width of approximately 1.725" at the nut. Frets are made from EVO "Gold Tone" wire, which displays the distinctive gold color to celebrate the Humminbird golden anniversary.
Elegant cosmetic appointments from the original Hummingbird are all here, including the multi-ply top and back binding, split-parallelogram mother-of-pearl position marker inlays, double-ring rosette, single-ply cream fingerboard binding, and uniquely pastoral engraved "Hummingbird" pickguard, painted with gold on this anniversary model for an even more distinctive look.
To highlight your Hummingbird as a Limited Edition guitar, it has "50th Anniversary" engraved on the truss-rod cover in addition to the "50" inlaid in mother-of-pearl on the headstock face. Gold-plated vintage-Kluson-style Gotoh tuners with pearloid "keystone" buttons grace the headstock, while a genuine bone nut and a genuine bone saddle in the traditional "belly up" Indian rosewood bridge work together to ensure pure warm, ringing, vintage-style tone.
