Like the Hummingbird Standard, the Hummingbird Standard EC’s mahogany body and sweet, select Sitka spruce top are more than capable of holding down the rhythm in the hands of a rock and roll sideman or accompanying the most nuanced performance under the fingers of today’s alternative singer-songwriter, but with the addition of the cutaway on the Hummingbird Standard EC, the access to the upper frets is significantly increased, making this the Hummingbird of choice for lead players and others who require increased note range and enhanced expressiveness. The Hummingbird’s mahogany neck has a comfortable Round SlimTaper™ profile and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. This ‘bird has a TUSQ® nut, saddle, and bridge pins, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, the iconic Hummingbird graphics on the pickguard, and is equipped with L.R. Baggs™ VTC electronics, so it’s ready to plug in on stage or in the studio from the moment you take it out of the included hardshell case. So, who is the Gibson Hummingbird for? Well, as you can hear, the Hummingbird Standard EC is the perfect guitar for a versatile acoustic player who needs an acoustic guitar to play fingerstyle, lead, and slide guitar as well as big chords! And is Cristoina shows here, it's also ideal for slide guitar players too! It has everything you need from a bigger-body sound for playing chords and writing songs, but with this cutaway, it also allows for a lot of lead playing and doing fun stuff up the neck, like chord inversions and anything else you'd care to play on it!

Cristina Vane Description: Watch Cristina Vane demo the Gibson.com exclusive, Hummingbird Standard EC Ebony, acoustic guitar. It's the famous Hummingbird, now with a cutaway for even more expressiveness. ▶ Get yours HERE: https://bit.ly/3ZN0Zrj ▶ Cristina is also using a Gibson Falcon 20 combo amplifier: https://bit.ly/3P7rMd1 *Options Available Now to Finance* See if you Prequalify for available options with no impact to your credit score: The Gibson Hummingbird™ is known for its versatility. It has always been equally well suited for strumming first-position chords and taking the spotlight for picking lead lines. The Hummingbird has become more versatile and expressive than ever with the introduction of the Hummingbird Standard EC. Like the Hummingbird Standard, the Hummingbird Standard EC’s mahogany body and sweet, select Sitka spruce top are more than capable of holding down the rhythm in the hands of a rock and roll sideman or accompanying the most nuanced performance under the fingers of today’s alternative singer-songwriter, but with the addition of the cutaway on the Hummingbird Standard EC, the access to the upper frets is significantly increased, making this the Hummingbird of choice for lead players and others who require increased note range and enhanced expressiveness. The Hummingbird’s mahogany neck has a comfortable Round SlimTaper™ profile and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. This ‘bird has a TUSQ® nut, saddle, and bridge pins, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, the iconic Hummingbird graphics on the pickguard, and is equipped with L.R. Baggs™ VTC electronics, so it’s ready to plug in on stage or in the studio from the moment you take it out of the included hardshell case. So, who is the Gibson Hummingbird for? Well, as you can hear, the Hummingbird Standard EC is the perfect guitar for a versatile acoustic player who needs an acoustic guitar to play fingerstyle, lead, and slide guitar as well as big chords! It has everything you need from a bigger-body sound for playing chords and writing songs, but with this cutaway, it also allows for a lot of lead playing and doing fun stuff up the neck, like chord inversions and anything else you'd care to play on it!
